With this deal comes a 20 billion dollar debt, I can not see how this will expand the handset choices nor the network. Even today there is talk of dissension in the ranks at Vimpelcom. It is a wait and see game now. T-Mobile being sold to AT&T is now also something that has to be looked at as a possible factor for less AWS handsets. Some sources have hinted that the platform ( AWS ) may be phased out due to lack of handset choices and increased costs.
another case of wait and see.
