Altimo/Telenor
Alfa Group consolidated its telecom holdings as Alfa Telecom, and renamed it Altimo by 2005. Its holdings and acquisitions included
 * MegaFon
 * Vimpelcom
 * Reservspetsmet
 * Golden Telecom
 * Kyivstar
 * Turkcell
 * Bakri Uzbekistan Telecom
 * Uzbek-Malaysian Communication

Fridman's desire to merge Vimpelcom and Kyivstar was thwarted by his partner Telenor, which held large stakes in both companies. Fridman resorted to protracted and aggressive efforts to strong-arm Telenor.
