Mumbai , May 4 VSNL has tied up with global telecom and networking company, Cable & Wireless. Through this tie-up, Indian corporate customers will gain access to the global network of Cable & Wireless through VSNL's existing domestic and international access infrastructure. Cable & Wireless branded services will now be offered under the Tata Indicom brand name. Nodes for facilitating this service have been set up in Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai. The Tata group is eyeing financial institutions and BPOs, among others, as potential customers for its managed data services; some new customers may be announced within a month. "We have entered into this agreement with VSNL to provide its existing customers services for all their telecommunications needs and target potential corporate clients," said Mr Phil Green, CEO, Cable and Wireless, Asia. The alliance aims to tap the growing need among IT and ITES companies for high-speed global connectivity for voice, data, multimedia, videoconferencing and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). "With the current tie-up up with Cable and Wireless, we are strengthening our relationship with an existing trusting partner and we will be in a leadership position to deliver unmatched solutions and seamless network to our clients in Europe and rest of the world," said Mr Sandeep Mathur, President, Tata Indicom Enterprise Business Unit. International telephony operators frequently partner with each other for better access to new geographies. VSNL tied up with AT&T some time back; Cable & Wireless has a strong presence in Europe. Cable and Wireless has partnered with Reliance Infocomm too. For Cable and Wireless, tying up with Indian partners will allow it to access the Indian market where it does not have an international long distance licence.
