VivaCell-MTS Telecommunications Company's investments in 2014 will
total nearly 11 billion drams, by preliminary data, Ralph Yirikian,
VivaCell-MTS General Manager, told ArmInfo.
He recommended converting the amount of investments into U.S. dollars
basing on the exchange rate for late 2013, not the present-day
realities.
"So far, it is early to speak of the final results of investments. It
is necessary to wait until the end of the year. The results for the
passed year are usually summed up in mid-January. We have invested
mainly in modernization of the network and installation of new base
transmission stations," Yirikian said.
He said the work will be continued also in 2015. "We will continue
installing base stations and implementing our social responsibility
program. It is of utmost importance for us to retain our positions
in the market - 60%. We have much work to do and many projects to
implement to that end. From commercial reasons, I cannot unveil these
projects," VivaCell-MTS General Manager said.
VivaCell-MTS (K-Telecom CJSC) is Armenia's leading mobile operator,
having the widest 2G/3.75G/4G network reach and spreading a wide
