November 2, Minsk /Andrei Asfura - BELTA/. RUE "Beltelecom" will not increase Internet tariffs by the end of the current year. This was announced today to a BELTA correspondent by the General Director of the national telecommunications operator, Sergey Popkov. "Tariffs will not be increased for end-users until the end of the year," he said, noting that rumors about a possible price increase for Internet access services from the national telecommunications operator are unfounded. At the same time, the General Director did not rule out the possibility that some private Internet providers might increase their Internet tariffs. This year, "Beltelecom" increased the cost of data transmission services in March. At that time, Internet access tariffs increased by 10%. The price increase was due to "the need for network modernization, acquisition of modern equipment and development of the latest technical solutions, without which further development of telecommunication technologies and ensuring guaranteed high quality of services are impossible." -0-
