Guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 It's interesting how they're going to connect to Internet. When I was there I was able to connect at the fantastic speed of 2.4K using phone lines. And every minute cost me about 50c (ISP + long distance call).

Guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 It is much cheaper now. At least when I was there I connected both at the Arminco center and at Armenia Hotel. It was not lightning fast, but decent. And ve affordable. They have to break up the telecom and Internet monopoly. It is absolutely essential for the rapid development of the infrastructure.
