He intends it to cover 50% of Russian need in this area during next ten years, in comparison to the 95% currently covered with western technology.

If Nikiforov plans to cover 50 proxent of russian mobile phones with Sailfish Mobile OS Russia, then those phones must be sold to everyone. Corporate clients cannot be 50 procent of phoneusers in Russia, thats why Sailfish Mobile OS Rusia have to be meant for consumerphones too.

You cannot wait years before making phone to non-corporate users, because it would be harder to break in to consumer markets, if Android rules (like Windows). It is better to start selling phones now. l would expect russian phonemakers make same phones available to corporations and consumers, but without advanced security features. That would be economically good move.

There is hope for better!
