ArmenTel is not able to give providers access to the network on demand,
the director general of Armentel (Beeline brand) Neicho Velichkov
said during a press-conference today.
He said that it was not an instance of unfair competition. "To be
dishonest is much too unprofitable business for us. If we lose our
ties with other telecom market players we will lose our profit,"
Velichkov said.
He noted that some providers might artificially slow down or interrupt
access of ArmenTel internet subscribers to their servers.
"If an ArmenTel subscriber can access any server except two or
three Armenian providers, it means something, doesn't it?" Velichko
said. In order to avoid such instances by early Oct ArmenTel is going
to open its own free mail server. "We are interested in effective
and flexible cooperation.
That's why when planning our work for one or several months ahead we
want to know which provider wants to get access to which section of
the network.
Such connections require big work. We can't do it in a week not because
we don't want but because we have limited technical capacities,"
Velichkov said.
He also added that any offer to cooperate is welcomed by the company
and leasing of the network and joint investments mean activation of
the market and growing of incomes of all its participants.
Velichkov also touched on internal plans of the company which should
be resolved. Among them is finishing of connection to the fixed
telephone line and changing of the telephone cables all over the
republic, some of which were laid 50 years ago. Another important
task is digitalization of automatic telephone stations especially at
the border regions and setting of new equipment by CDMA standard. He
said that digital communication may reach 100% in Armenia by the end
of the next year.
