YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 5, ARMENPRESS: ArmenTel telephone operator that
holds legal monopoly on fixed telephones and Internet services in
Armenia, has confirmed today it has sent a package of proposals to
transport and communication ministry calling for revision of tariffs
for fixed telephones.
A spokeswoman for ArmenTel said a state commission for protection of
economic competition has to examine the company’s proposals and make
a decision within next 45 days.
The commission in turn has said that ArmenTel paid a $400,000 fine
levied on it for the more than month-long breakdown of its network
that caused widespread anger among its nearly 300,000 subscribers
from June 30 to July 10.
