ARMINCO FINED IN AMOUNT OF 2 MILLION DRAMS, BEING ACCUSED OF PROVIDING
IP SERVICES
YEREVAN, MARCH 31, NOYAN TAPAN. Arminco company - an Internet service
provider in Armenia, has been fined by the RA Public Services
Regulatory Commission in the amount of 2 million drams (about 5.5
thousand USD) for provision of IP voice services. Director of
Arminco's Technical Unit Grigor Saghian told NT correspondent that
ArmenTel company presented to the commission some facts as evidence
that Arminco connected phone calls made to th city of Vanadzor.
Taking into account the arguments put forward by Arminco, according to
which the room with phones with these phone number is not used, its
doors and windows are locked, the commission made a decision to reduce
the initial amount of the fine - 4 million drams to 2 million
drams. Armonco does not admit its guilt and proposed ArmenTel creating
a joint commission to clear the problem, but the latter has not
responded to this proposal. G. Saghian said that in the opinion of
ArmenTel's representative, "Arminco proposed creating a commission
instead of rejecting the accusation, so in this way Arminco admits its
mistake." In the words of G. Saghian, the RA Public Services
Regulatory Commission has no opportunity to perform any investigative
functions, so it was guided by ArmenTel's arguments and imposed the
fine. "We do not provide IP voice services and will take the
respective steps to protect our rights," the director of Arminco's
technical unit stated.
