Analysis, Armenia, Telecoms, Markets, Deregulation, CEE: Dublin-based Research and Markets has emerged as one of the most prolific publishers of telecoms analysis and forecasting. Reports on developing markets are no exception. We submit below just one of the many releases we have received from Research and Markets.
Armenia's telecommunications sector is small but growing. With over 600,000 fixed-line subscribers for a population of around 3.5 million, the level of investment in infrastructure and new services has begun to increase. There are, however, major structural issues to be addressed in the sector.
For example, although ArmenTel, the country's national telecoms provider, was granted exclusive rights to provide all telecoms services until 2013 (apart from data services), a second mobile service provider was launched in mid-2005 after the government awarded a licence to K-Telecom (trading as VivaCell). The mobile market has been growing strongly and in late 2007 plans to award a third mobile operator licence were announced.
The new report looks at the overall state of telecommunications in Armenia and provides a selection of pertinent market statistics. These include a brief overview of progress made to date in the Armenian market and the breakdown of ArmenTel's monopoly. The new players are in turn discussed and assessed. To round off the report before it concludes with the statistical sections, the consequences of foreign investment are reviewed.
