ArmenTel to Disconnect Internet Telephony Companies



Your days of using VoIP to curb long distance calls may be coming to a screeching halt! By the way, VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, which is basically a way of sending voice over the internet and bypassing traditional phone services.
The chief manager of Russia-owned ArmenTel telephone operator Oleg Bliznyuk warned yesterday companies providing Internet telephony (IP) services that their telephones will be disconnected on January 25 because their services are illegal.

He said ArmenTel was ready to negotiate with around 300 companies providing Internet telephony services dealer agreements. He declines rumors that ArmenTel was going to raise prices of IP services.
It must feel good to operate as a virtual monopoly and get away with it.
