Online Subscription is reality: Rostelecom accepts subscription applications online

Rostelecom Company has announced an online subscription
opportunity.  From now on, everyone can
fill an application online and get subscribed for the Company's services. The
Company's specialists verify the applicant's data through a phone call and
connect him to the network within ten days after application.  Online subscription saves time and funds. There
is no longer need to visit Rostelecom's sales and service points to get
connected to any of its services or tariff packages.

"The Company has developed the online option of
subscription given the daily visits of its website - www.rtarmenia.am -
6,000-7,000 subscriptions daily. Our website is very attractive due to its
seamless and color user interface: users can easily find the necessary
information on it. Due to the online subscription service, a user can easily
verify whether the Company's services are available in his location, fill an
application, and get connected within ten days.  I think, this option will be useful to many, especially for the
working people," says Hayk Faramazyan, GNC-ALFA CEO.  According to him, Rostelecom was the most
