ARMENTEL: ARMENIAN INTERNET USERS VISIT LESS THAN 25% OF NATIONAL WEBSITES

Armenian Internet users visit less than 25% of national websites,
Operations Director of ArmenTel closed joint stock company (Beeline
brand) Alexander Birman told journalists. They prefer international
sites, he said.
According to him, the low level of use of the local content is quite
a negative indicator especially when compared with the normal level
ranging from 50% to 90%. For example, about 75% of Georgian Internet
users visit national web resources. In Russia and European countries
national Internet resources are used by 60-70% of the users, he said.
The technologies applied, the content of Internet resources and
people's insufficient access to the Internet are the main reasons for
low popularity of Armenian sites, Birman said. He said that ArmenTel
launches a campaign on providing wide public access to the Internet,
including to wide-band Internet in big cities.
The company is planning to launch a new product to provide Internet
access in remote villages. It is also developing a product package for
the corporate market to support providers and give them an opportunity
to use ArmenTel's resources for rapid and high-quality services.
"ArmenTel" closed joint stock company is a daughter enterprise of
"VimpelCom" Russian telecommunication company (Beeline trademark). It
provides services to about 640,000 subscribers of stationary
communication and over 450,000 subscribers of mobile communication.
