(Noyan Tapan - 24.06.2011) On June 24, The Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan attended the opening ceremony of DigiTec Business and
Microsoft Innovation forums.
Greeting the attendees, the Prime Minister gave importance to
the big interest in the forum as DigiTec is the platform that
provides an opportunity for the government to get in touch with all
representatives of the field, discuss and understand the priorities
and the problems. "The significance of this platform is that we see
the achievements of the companies and the products and services they
offer to clients."
According to the Prime Minister, IT technologies have a key role to
play in the 21st century. "The IT sector has had a leading position in
Armenia's economy over the past 3 years. I wish to note some figures
which witnesses my statement. We had 1.000.000 mobile Internet users
in 2009. This index rose to 1.343.000 and 1.700.000 in 2010 and in the
first quarter of 2011 respectively. The following figures describe
the overall state of affairs in the sphere of broadband Internet:
we boasted some 70.000 subscriptions in 2009, 170.000 subscriptions
in 2010 and 240.000 in the first quarter of 2011. The most important
thing is that prices go down as clients expand. Prices for up to
1Mb/sec broadband services averaged 234.000 drams in 2009, 71.000
drams in 2010 and 55.000 drams in the first quarter of 2011. This
year we will state further slide in prices," noted Tigran Sargsyan.
Then The Prime Minister visited DigiTech Business forum exhibition
and got acquainted with the offers of IT companies.
This 4th DigiTec forum includes a Microsoft Innovation forum, as well
as DigiTec Business forum exhibition and a series of technological
conferences and seminars, during which the latest solutions and
services of the companies will be presented, which are envisaged for
businessmen and officials. The department of information and public
relations of the RA Government informed "Noyan Tapan" about this.
