Armentel no longer has privileges
Starting on October 1, Armentel will no longer retain its
communication monopoly in Armenia. This decision was made today by a
governmental commission. Discount prices, seen as `balanced,’ are to
remain the same. To make the communication market freer, the
commission announced 60 changes in licensing, removing special rights
formerly enjoyed by Armentel.
We note that people had gathered at the meeting site, demanding to
take part, and saying they had asked to do so and weren’t turned
down. But they were only allowed inside after the meeting was
concluded.
