Bharti Airtel will open its first underground terrestrial fibre optic cable with China Telecom




If this is true, then it'll be a moment to remember in internet history in sub continent. I'll see this as a potential game changer in India. So far Indian telco's rely on Singapore or Dubai for the connectivity to tier1 operators even when they own substantial submarine capacity. With more and more Chinese firms operating in India and Indian firms looking in to China this is a timely move. By the way some interesting stuff,
* I was told Youku has more indian (hindi, telugu) content than in Youtube ( Reason is copy right restrictions in youtube)
* There are more than 10,000 students from india in China studying MBBS (no comments!!!!I guess they are not qualified to get a seat in India)
* Recent PM meeting resulted in billions of dollars contracts between two countries
