/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The third Armenian cellular operator
in Armenia will be known no sooner than summer 2008,
said Gevorg Gevorgyan, head of the telecommunication
department of the public services regulatory committee
of Armenia. He said the RA government has determined
the composition of the tender commission and the order
of its work.

`The international tender will be completed in
August-September 2008, however the terms can be
prolonged depending on the commission's proposals. The
public services regulatory committee of Armenia
doesn't possess official data on applications from
companies concerned,' Gevorgyan said, Novosti Armenia

applications will be received from May 1, 2008 during
90 days. However, according to Minister of Transport
and Communications Andranik Manukyan, who heads of the
tender commission, the name of the third operator will
be announced till June 30, 2008.
