Armenia Telecommunications and
Broadband Reports
Armenia Telecoms Market
Overview and Statistics Report
Armenia’s telecommunications sector is small but growing.
With over 700,000 fixed-line subscribers for a population of nearly
4 million people, the level of investment in infrastructure and new
services has begun to increase. There are, however, major structural
issues to be addressed in the sector. Although ArmenTel, the country’s
national telecom provider, was granted exclusive rights to the provision
of all telecommunications services in Armenia until 2013 (apart from
data services), a second mobile operator launched its network in mid-2005
after the government awarded a licence to K-Telecom. This report looks
at the overall state of telecommunications in Armenia and provides a
selection of pertinent market statistics. See summary and table of

Armenia’s telecom sector is small but growing. With over 600,000 fixed-line subscribers
for a population of around 3.5 million, the level of investment in infrastructure and
new services has begun to increase. There are, however, major structural issues to be
addressed in the sector. In 2004, amid growing dissatisfaction over the performance of
the telecoms network, the government reached a compromise with national telecom provider,
ArmenTel, ending its exclusive rights as a service provider in exchange for various other
concessions, including that only one alternative mobile operator would be allowed to operate
in Armenia until 2009. ArmenTel was allowed to retain sole rights to Internet telephony
and the use of fibre optic cables. Previously, it had been granted exclusive rights
to provide all telecom services in Armenia until 2013 (apart from data). The mobile
market grew by around 75% in 2007, with K-Telecom, Armenia’s second mobile operator
having a big impact on the market. Plans to award a third mobile operator licence were
announced in late 2007. See the table of contents
and executive summary.
