Armentel will completely digitize Armenia's fixed-line telephony
network in 2010, told Dmitri Pleskonos, OJSC Vimpelkom's executive
vice president for business development in CIS. Currently, the level
of digitization of Armenia's fixed-line telephony network is 67 per
cent. According to Mr. Pleskonos, this is a very high performance for
Armenia, particularly, if we compare with the same rate in Russia,
which does not surpass 47 per cent. Among CIS countries Uzbekistan
has the highest level (equal to 69 per cent) of digitization of a
fixed-line telephony, which is only 2 per cent more than the same rate
in Armenia. "We do not project to cut investments into financially
efficient activities in Armenia," added Mr. Pleskonos. Over the last
two years Armentel invested USD 200 million to digitize analogous
telephony stations in Armenia. The company announced about digitizing
three more stations in Yerevan in April of 2009, which raised the level
of digitization of the capital to 90 per cent. Armentel projects to
digitize all analogous stations of Armenia's fixed telephony in 2010.
