India's Department of Telecommunications has issued Verizon Business India a letter of intent for the award of licences for international and national long-distance services. Receipt of the licences will further enhance Verizon Business' ability to provide advanced telecommunications services to multinational companies with operations in
India, as well as to India-based multinationals. Verizon Business already holds an Internet service provider licence in
India and has various local IP hubs. The company currently provides services to its multinational customers' Indian operations through partnerships with several licensed carriers in
India. Upon receipt of the licences, companies operating in
India will benefit from direct access to Verizon Business' advanced IP communications portfolio through Verizon Business India, which will complement Verizon Business' continuing relationships with its existing Indian partners. Verizon Business India plans to offer a full range of services to multinational customers, including international private-leased circuits with multi protocol label switching (MPLS), and Internet protocol services. IP and data network capabilities are planned for launch in Mumbai,
Bangalore,
Delhi, Chennai and
Hyderabad in 2008.
