Armenian incumbent fixed line operator ArmenTel (Beeline) aims to
fully digitise its PSTN by 2010, according to Dmitri Pleskonos,
the vice president of business development in CIS for Vimpelcom -
the operator's parent company.
Mr Pleskonos states the digitisation rate in Armenia is currently 67%,
putting it near the top in terms of CIS countries (Uzbekistan has the
highest level (with 69%) and the Russian owners "do not project to
cut investments into financially efficient activities in Armenia",
this year. Over the last two years ArmenTel has spent around $200
million to upgrade analogue network exchanges across the country.
Most recently, in April 2009, it completed the upgrade of three more
sites in the capital, raising digitisation in Yerevan to 90%. By
2010 the company hopes to have completed the full digitisation of
the fixed telephone network, he added.
