and Information Resource Unit under the Communications Ministry has ended in favor of the Antimonopoly Committee.

“The government has confirmed once again its adherence to the policy aimed at development of free entrepreneurship in the field of the telecommunications in the conditions of conscientious competition and not allowing monopolization of market in this field,” the source stressed.
