15.07.2005 04:35

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ As “.am” PanARMENIAN.Net reporter came to know
from the VivaCell department of commerce, the tariffs of the second
cellular operator VivaCell will not be lowered. To remind, yesterday an
information on possible reduction of tariffs was spread by IA Regnum
with a reference to Armenian Minister of Transport and Communications
Andranik Manukian. The fact is that in a private conversation with
the journalists the Minister supposed that the competition caused
by the entrance of VivaCell to the cellular market can result in
reduction of tariffs. “Competition can provide cheaper and high-quality
communication”, the Minister noted without clarifying the possible
rate and date for reviewing of prices.
