Around 4,000 computers were sold in Armenia under the pilot project
of Computers for Everyone program during the first quarter of 2010.
The program has already influenced the number of computer users in
Armenia, the press service of the Armenian Ministry of Economy told
to PanARMENIAN.Net
According to preliminary data of a research on use of Internet and
computer equipment in Armenia (as of March 2010), the number of
computer users totaled 18% that is three times higher as compared
with the last similar index recorded in Armenia (6%). The research
conducted by Enterprise Incubator Foundation is scheduled to be
finished within several months.
Computer for Everyone program is implemented by the Armenian
government, Enterprise Incubator Foundation, Hewlett-Packard and
Microsoft corporations in partnership with Unicomp company and
ACBA-Credit Agricole bank. The pilot project of the program has started
since September 22, 2009. $5-7mln will be allocated for the program,
which has provided the population with the opportunity to purchase
computers at market prices. The program aims to increase the level
of households' computerization from 6% to 30%.
Seven models of HP computers, including 6 notebooks, are available for
Armenian consumers in 7 shops of Yerevan (4), Vanadzor (2) and Gyumri
(1).
