MegaFon and Opera strikes deal - free Internet for you

June 23, 2010 · by Espen André Øverdahl

We have signed a deal with the Russian federal mobile operator, MegaFon (that name makes me think of Transformers). This is a pretty big deal (pun intended), because Opera Mini will be distributed to all Russian territories under a special "Unlimited Internet with Opera Mini" package. And the volume? Nothing more than 53 million Russian mobile subscribers will have fast and cost-effective access to mobile web without traffic counting.

For more information about this deal, check out the press release.

Well, it's not unlimited at all. You only could surf the web for constant pay of 0,75$. All downloads would cost some money.
P.S. Forgive me for my english
