“After the reduction in tariffs on the use of the Internet in just a few days, we have seen an increasing interest in the population to this most promising communication technology today. People are applying for installation of receiving devices, and some of the registered users have decided to change the tariff plans”, told Yusup Gammaev, deputy director of “Martytelecom”, to the publication.
