In addition to the billboard business, Dmitri Chikovani hasalso become quite a kiosk impresario. In 2009, Tbilisi City Hallrewarded a newly created company built by the GLC, WideDistribution, with permission to erect newspaper kiosks in severallarge cities. 164 These also sell lottery tickets and offer their facadesas advertising space. The process was non-competitive 165 andtriggered concerns among publishers who feared a governmenttakeover of the press distribution system through the 185 boothsWide Distribution had set up in the capital. 166 70% of WideDistribution’s shares were owned by Blackstyle Management,which was registered in the British Virgin Islands. 167 Chikovaniwas its representative in Georgia.

This is also the same Nodar Charkhalashviliwho, Studio Monitor reports, was involved in the Obieqtivi TVcontroversy 170 . In May, 2011, Wide Distribution was renamedLCC Express.164 The Georgian Advertising Market. p.28.
