Orange France has added Armenia’s public channel Armenia 1 to the
Orange TV service, accessible free of charge at channel 305. The move
was celebrated on 12 March by Armenian foreign minister Edward
Nalbandian and France Telecom-Orange CEO Didier Lombard, who used the
opportunity to recall the relationship between the group and the
Armenian republic. France Telecom sent a mobile satellite antenna to
Armenia following the 1988 earthquake and the company supports the
annual Phonethon to collect funds by phone for structural projects in
the country. Orange also said it would launch its mobile phone service
in Armenia by the end of the year. Orange Armenia won the country’s
third mobile licence (GSM/3G) in October 2008.
