ArmInfo. 987 ArmenTel lines (Beeline brand) are used by third persons,
including internet providers, the head of the legal service of ArmenTel
David Sandukhchyan said during a press-conference today.

50 applications have been declined due to repair of the telecoms
network. So, it is not true that ArmenTel refuses to provide lines to
physical or legal entities. Presently, the company is considering 50
more applications and is going to satisfy them.

Concerning ArmenTel’s negotiations with internet providers,
Sandukhchyan said that the negotiations were underway and it was early
yet to say anything about specific results. Naturally, the agreement to
be reached as a result of the talks will stipulate equal rights and
equal obligations for both parties.

Presently, Armentel is drafting a business model of rules of behavior
on the market of internet services and is planning to submit it for the
consideration of the market regulators.

The deadline for preparing the rules is July 10.

To remind, shortly representatives of ArmenTel and a number of internet
providers of Armenia will meet in the office of the Committee on
Regulation of Public Services so as to discuss the present situation on
the internet service market of Armenia.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
