According to the results for August, Beeline’s share made 40.94% that is 0.08% higher as compared with May. The lowest index was recorded in July, totaling 39.59%. The research authors believe that the doubled speed of Hi-Line Internet will have an impact on autumn results.

Orange Armenia (15.78%) is the second on the list, due to affordable offers for mobile Internet connection, increase in Internet packages volumes and speed.

It is followed by VivaCell-MTS (10.98%). “The introduction of more affordable offers for mobile Internet in the beginning of September suggests that the leading mobile operator is not going to accept the outsider’s position,” reads the report.

The three leaders are followed by ADC (6.61%), Arminco (5.02%), Ucom (4.22%), Cornet-AM (3.95%), iCON (3.43%), Bionet (1.35%) and Web (1.21%).

As of the end of August 2010, the share of ten leading providers of Armenia makes 93.49% of all visits from Armenia. “Developments in this field over the past six months indicate that small companies will be forced out from the market with the lapse of time,” reads the report.
