ArmenTel company director recently accused ADC of reducing Internet
speed. NEWS.am posts ADC feedback on ArmenTel management’s statement.

"Taking into the account the public interest, as well as journalists’
inquiries with regard to the statement of the General Director of
ArmenTel CJSC (trademark Beeline), Mr. Klimko, publicized recently by
some mass media outlets, we consider it necessary to inform that the
mentioned statement has nothing to do with realty. In the best case
it can be justified only with the fact that the General Director of
ArmenTel is misinformed by his employees.

Simultaneously we inform that ADC internet provider has no agreement
obligations regarding provision of international resources mirroring
services, and based on its customers’ interests, from December 16
ADC implements re-equipment of the network and as a result, the
international resources mirroring services were suspended for all
internet providers in Armenia.

Let us mention that the temporary suspension of the mirror resources
for acting providers was an opportunity to use the same resources
through their own international network channels, that guarantees
uninterrupted access for their customers to the mentioned resources,
which, by the way incidentally, was successfully implemented by such
leading operators as Orange, Viva Cell, Arminco and others. If other
Armenian operators, operating on the territory of the Republic of
Armenia has no resources, then ADC is not and can not be responsible
for that.

To avoid from further misunderstanding, we also inform that last Monday
(2 days before the press conference of Mr. Klimko) ADC has sent a
business offer regarding the opportunities of usage of international
resources mirroring services to number of market subjects, including
ArmenTel.

Being a socially responsible company, ADC calls on the ArmenTel
management to refrain from, to say the least, unfounded allegations,
which theoretically could harm the good name and reputation of our
company."
