Moscow CableCom Corp. Operating Unit Announces Re-Branding Launching Digital Services Platform
NEW YORK, June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Moscow CableCom Corp. (NASDAQ:MOCC) today announced that its primary operating subsidiary in Moscow, Russia, ComCor-TV (CCTV), will re-brand its cable television and Internet access product offerings under the name "AKADO", as part of a broader advertising and marketing program that will establish AKADO's identity and communicate the full scope of its services within Moscow.
AKADO will also be launching a new digital platform from which it will provide its subscribers access to a host of additional television channels and services, in addition to the more than 50 channels it currently offers. Further, the new technology will provide AKADO the opportunity to expand the number of radio stations offered from the current 18 to as many as 100, including foreign radio stations.
AKADO currently has an access network of approximately 220,000 homes-passed, primarily in the Central and South regions of Moscow, and has plans to expand its reach to one million homes in the next three years. Its near-term expansion plans involve construction in the North West, North East and Zelenograd administrative regions.
Warren Mobley, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our re-branding under the AKADO name will enable us to market our services under a name that we expect will become the number one choice in consumers' minds for high-speed Internet access and commercial television. Our investment in the new digital platform underscores our commitment to delivering the best information, communication, and entertainment products and services in the Moscow region. We are confident that with the benefit of a combination of improved technology and expanded market reach, we are sending a clear message that AKADO is poised to become a dominant player in our market."
