YEREVAN, JANUARY 17, ARMENPRESS: The chief manager of Russia-owned
ArmenTel telephone operator Oleg Bliznyuk warned yesterday companies
providing Internet telephony (IP) services that their telephones will
be disconnected on January 25 because their services are illegal.

The Russian executive recalled that under License 60 provision of
Internet telephony services is the exclusive right of ArmenTel. He
said this right was reaffirmed lately by the Public Services Regulatory
Commission.

He said ArmenTel was ready to negotiate with around 300 companies
providing Internet telephony services dealer agreements. He declines
rumors that ArmenTel was going to raise prices of IP services.
