    ArmInfo. ArmenTel intends to introduce a single tariff for fixed-line
    telephony in Armenia. As a result, the tariffs may rise in Yerevan
    and considerably fall in regions, ArmenTel (brand Beeline) Director
    for Operations Alexander Birman told ArmInfo. He explained that
    the fixed-line telecommunication tariffs in regions re rather
    high and people prefer mobile communication or refuse from the
    telecommunication services at all. 'The new republican tariff will
    make calls more accessible for regions>. He said that the new proposal
    will be shortly discussed with the regulating agencies, transport
    and communication ministry and the consumers rights protecting
    societies. A. Birman outlined that the interests of subscribers
    are prior for ArmenTel. 'Given the general rise of tariffs for food
    products, electricity and others, we believe it wrong from the social
    point of view raising the telecommunication tariffs>, he said. At the
    same time he outlined that tariffs of internal calls have always been
    so low that did not fund the infrastructure. The inter-city calls
    were the key income, which however are no longer profitable because
    of the calling card platforms. A. Birman mentioned that local calls
    for subscribers of analogous networks are still free. He outlined that
    analogous networks serve almost half of the company's subscribers. 'If
    the tariffs are left unchanged, we will have no funds to install new
    equipment and modernize the network. In such conditions, the optimal
    decision may be found through a constructive dialogue reckoning with
    the opinions of all the parties interested', A. Birman said.
