Current Condition of Armenia

Re: Current Condition of Armenia

The opposition it seems has calmed down, they realise that the political landscape now is different and Serzh is ready with political dialogue.

They are still spreading fear. For example, claiming that Armenia will become empty and de-populated in a few years. Claiming that Serj and co are going to give up Artsakh, and they are still demanding early elections.

Re: Current Condition of Armenia

Activity on Twitter from the Armenian opposition is VERY slow today compared to past rallies. The hashtag to follow is #30jun, #Armenia or #Yerevan.

Re: Current Condition of Armenia

I just don't see many people using internet in the crammed marshutnis.

People are constantly on their cell phones texting anyway so it seems like a really good idea to provide them with free wi-fi.

Re: Current Condition of Armenia

What is pathetic is that Asia has a faster system and better mobile phones, but proriatary laws make it that nothing gets
to the western markets. This is what a few people have told me. Imagine they are many years ahead of U.S. and that
already says alot.

That here in the U.S. the carriers AT&T are a joke, besides service. They do not allow the bridging of the BBY Playbook.
Then there is Verizon-and they allow it on their phones. Then there isSprint, well, anyhow, then there is T-mobile,
(they were gobbled up by AT&T), (hope they get indigestion), and the talk of 4G wireless system, well, that is a full
ways off for completion.
So if it is a joker here, I do believe that countries like Armenia have a long way to go. For some 4G is going to be important.
For others 3G is good enough.

There is, as I know everyone here knows, a lot of dedication, manpower, funds and good strategy needs to go into a
creating and over hauling what is there as per IT, Computer, information communications and wireless and internet
operations needs a lot of work. Not easy.

Let's hope that the infrastructure in Armenia can be done in a proper way to benefit all.

Why so smug? It's a great idea, and the new mayor is doing a good job, he's the best mayor of Yerevan since 1991!

Re: Current Condition of Armenia

tell me about it, often you can't see even 360p youtube videos, cuz its so slow...

In my close neighbourhood in Yerevan at least 20% of families at home have 1-2Gb internet connections. I wonder what are you talking about?

For instance I'm using 2Gb ADSL internet connection which is shared with three other families and we each pay about $5 per month. And we are watching videos w/o any serious interruption.

Thus, usually, there is no need for the most of Armenian population, who can use a computer and is interested in the internet, using it in busses or in a cafe!!!
