Armenian internet sites are "dead" since their pages open for more than
8 seconds, Hovanes Avoyan, director of Lycos’s Armenian representation,
told a news conference today.
In his words, Armenia is poorly presented in the internet. "If our
local users have to wait until the page opens, no one will wait more
than 8 seconds abroad," Avoyan mentioned. Speaking about the reasons
of such failures, Avoyan said the internet connection is bad. He also
said it is disconnected for hours and even for days. Among reasons,
Avoyan also mentioned the technical capacities.
Some 110 companies work in the sphere of IT today in Armenia 30%
of them with foreign capital. Some 5,000 people are employed in the
field. IT attracts $100 million private and government investment
annually.
