    Official says Armenia's 2d mobile co to start operations Aug '05

    YEREVAN, Nov 11 (Prime-Tass) -- A second Armenian mobile operator,
    K-Telecom, would start its operations in Armenia in late August 2005,
    Armenia's Justice Minister David Arutyunyan told reporters Thursday.

    Arutyunyan said that K-Telecom would receive its frequency over the
    next two to three months.

    He said that at present the Armenian national telecom company ArmenTel
    had the licenses for the frequencies, and that this situation could
    not be changed overnight.

    "We estimate that K-Telecom will receive the 10MHz frequency in
    about seven months, which will enable the company to start commercial
    operations a few months after that," Arutyunyan said.

    On November 4, Arutyunyan said that the Armenian government had awarded
    a license to K-Telecom to become the country's second mobile operator.

    Arutyunyan said that the Armenian government had approved the removal
    of ArmenTel's exclusive right to provide GSM, mobile satellite
    and mobile radio communication services by amending the company's
    license. End
