ST. PETERSBURG, March 5 - RAPSI. A commercial court will hear on March 29 Rostelecom's lawsuit to invalidate the watchdog's decision that the company violated the antimonopoly legislation, the court reported on its website.

Rostelecom disputes the service's decision adopted last November.

According to the agency, the company was found guilty of violating competition law while delivering bills on the payment of telecommunications services with a time rate basis system to St. Petersburg subscribers.

The service established that the subscribers received the bills no less than five days before the deadline.

The watchdog found that the rules on rendering telecommunications services were violated. Pursuant to the rules, a provider should deliver bills no less than 10 days before the deadline.

Rostelecom is Russia's largest telecommunication company.
