    NEW LAW ON ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION TO COME INTO FORCE ON JAN. 1, 2006

    ArmenTel to Hold Monopoly

    The Cooperation for Open Society NGO organized a press conference yesterday
    to discuss the draft law on electronic communication. Justice minister, the
    head of the Communication Administration within the Communication and
    Transport Ministry and the chairman of Internews-Armenia jural service were
    invited to deliver their reports.

    Justice minister Davit Harutyunian spoke about the draft law elaborated in
    2000 and adopted at the first reading. Noting that the law aimed at solving
    problems with ArmenTel, justice minister said that the new draft will give
    the power in the sphere to another supervisor.

    Perhaps, the key point the minister mentioned was that they made an attempt
    to settle the issue of communication network, which is historically under
    the control of ArmenTel, i.e. the issue of other operators utilizing the
    network infrastructure.

    Speaking of the fees for the services, the minister said that they will be
    "rational and fair". Asked by daily Azg what he means by that, Davit
    Harutyunian said that the rational fee is the one that circulates today for
    such services. As to the "fairness", the minister kept silent. Anyhow, the
    justice minister noted that there should be rivalry in the sphere in order
    to have law tariffs and to make it develop.
