Armenia's telecommunications landscape, despite the country's complex topography and population distribution, has demonstrated remarkable growth and resilience. With a populace primarily concentrated in the capital, Yerevan, and challenging geographical features such as the arid Ararat Valley and rugged highlands, the implementation of a sturdy telecommunications network has been a significant feat. Armenia has overcome these obstacles through continuous infrastructural improvements and innovations, such as the deployment of 4G networks across urban and regional areas, and additional digital broadcasting infrastructures in remote regions. Furthermore, Armenia's admirable emphasis on fostering a favourable environment for ICT growth and the presence of multiple ISPs have contributed to a competitive telecommunications market, addressing disparities between urban and regional connectivity.
