Reliance Info inks deal with China Telecom

Reliance Infocomm has joined hands with China Telecommunications to provide direct telecom connectivity for the first time between the two countries.

"The current arrangement of routing calls between the two countries via the US and Europe is not only expensive but also results in loss of signal quality," a statement by Reliance Infocomm said.

Reliance Infocomm will now route communications traffic between India and China on a global network of its group company Flag Telecom.

An interconnection between Flag and China Telecommunications' domestic infrastructure has been established at Hong Kong.
