“Megaphone” CSJC may become the cell phone third operator in Armenia. According to Maxim Savatin, the expert of “iKS-Consulting” company said that it is planned to invest money and to broaden the sphere of their activities.

According to the expert, probably “Megaphone” should move to CIS countries, as much more is needed to get foreign countries. “Possibly “Megaphone” plans to come to Armenia, as it is several years they the idea is discussed within the company. “Megaphone” would have good orientation in Kyrgyzstan and Azerbaijan also. To enter other countries would be even more difficult, as there markets are also closed,” said the expert.
