Runetology (174): Alexander Kazakov, founder of Navitel

Alexander Kazakov about why he spent almost his entire career making software for different devices, about how cards are created and why the last word in a company does not always have to be with the founder of the company.

Interview with a guest:

Is the navigation market consolidating to the state of several “combines” with a huge range of functions?
“When the Internet becomes completely free, when there is no roaming, there will be no Internet charges, there will be no difference between us, Google, Yandex and other players.”
How does Navitel work internally?
Why do many find Navitel's software interface controversial?
“We would like to be a global company.”
What will be the navigation software tomorrow?
