The Union of Information Technology Enterprises (UITE) applied
to the Armenian government for allotment of 140sq. m territory at
Tigran Mets Avenue to establish ARMIX unit - a center for Internet
traffic exchange.
UITE CEO Karen Vardanyan said that it is a place, where all providers
will have their units. The issue on territory's allotment will
be solved within several months, Vardanyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter.
Providers intend to decrease usage of external Internet traffic through
ARMIX that will have a significant impact on tariffs and quality of the
provided Internet services. The initiative group includes the following
leading companies of Armenia's telecommunications sector: VivaCell-MTS,
Orange Armenia, ADC, U!Com, iCon, Web, Apaga Technologies, GNC Alfa,
Shirak Technologies, etc.
ArmenTel company has not joined the initiative yet. Meanwhile,
according to Karen Vardanyan, ArmenTel will join ARMIX.
On May 5, CEO of ArmenTel company Igor Klimko expressed readiness to
discuss the company's participation in ARMIX.
ARMIX center for Internet traffic exchange was established in Armenia
in April. It is planned to "keep" 20-30% of Internet traffic in Armenia
through the Internet exchange center, what will allow decreasing
Internet prices. ARMIX was established by the Union of Companies of
Information Technologies and Internet Society NGO.
