Days earlier it became known that Rostelecom Armenia company (GNC  Alfa CJSC), has rebranded and will henceforth operate under the new  OVIO brand. The company entered the telecom market in 2009 under the  GNC-ALFA brand, having built over 3,000 kilometers of backbone  network and becoming the largest player in the wholesale internet  market, significantly reducing the market price for wholesale  internet in Armenia.  Since 2012, the company has continued its  operations under the Rostelecom brand, introducing "Optics to Every  Apartment" technology in Yerevan and regions, thus ensuring digital  equality and promoting healthy competition in the market of internet  and digital TV services.  Until 2024, the company invested over AMD  37 billion in Armenia and paid AMD 14 billion in taxes.  With the new  brand, the company has shifted to an open and transparent way of  working to provide a simple and comfortable experience for customers  and partners. OVIO's entry into the market is a turning point in the  company's development.  With the new brand, OVIO remains committed to  providing reliable and quality services and innovative solutions to  meet customer needs. With the new brand, the company goes beyond the  classic telecom operator, transforming itself and providing a range  of digital and cloud services and starting the process of forming a  unified ecosystem of digital services.
