Yota and Comstar offer WiMax technology, which is not pure mobile 4G - this is more like the WiFi with extended capabilities, and the base stations are only in Moscow city. With 3G now offered by all three major mobile companies in Moscow one can get 3.6 Mb/sec on downloads, which is more than enough for watching youtube. I use the usb stick with MTS connection when out of Moscow for Skype video conferences and speed and quality are good enough. Now the real 4G comes - the LTE technology - but it will take years to develop it in Russia, due to radio bandwidth limitations: as it was with 3G.
