    Acision, the world's leading messaging company, today announces the

    MTS messaging. In addition, Mobispine has developed a Lotus Notes
    application for MTS' Desktop Messaging specifically for the Russian
    market.

    mobile services and brand to the desktop and laptop environment. By
    providing easy access to mobile messaging on multiple devices, MTS
    subscribers now have mobile messaging at their fingertips while on
    the move, at home and in the office," said David Frail, global market
    development director at Acision.

    growing rapidly in Russia. By becoming the first operator in Russia
    to offer desktop messaging, we continue to deliver the most innovative
    solutions to our customers."

    Joakim Hilj, CEO at Mobispine, said, "Desktop Messaging is rapidly
    becoming a 'must have' service for operators. We are delighted that
