The results of the research made in the market of telecommunications
were discussed at yesterday's sitting of RA State Commission for
Protection of Economic Competition. The commission carried out the
research in accordance with the application of ArmenTel. The company
suggested considering Arminco a leading company in the market of
Internet services, including rent of routes for database exchange
and the satellite services for receiving information.
The research showed that 213 economic entities that have license
for providing Internet services carry out indirect services. They get
Internet not from ArmenTel but from 10 other big indirect providers. It
was calculated that the latter provided Internet services amounting
to AMD 1,9 billion in 2005. Particularly, 37,1% of the market services
are provided by Arminco.
Thus, the commission recognized and registered Arminco as the leading
company. According to their activities, Netsys, Cornet-AM, Exolt and
Web companies are also recognized among the leading companies of the
telecommunication sphere.
21 economic entities functioning in the sphere of the international
satellite services provided services amounting to AMD 454,6
million. But there is no leading economic entity among them.
The research showed that ArmenTel has occupied a dominating position
in providing with services for the rent of routes envisaged for
database exchange.
ArmenTel makes Internet accessible for the providers through these
very routes.
