5. About Tata

    Tata Communications (formerly Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd) (VSL, 500483, NSE:VSNLEQ) is a global Indian-telecommunications company.VSNL is a provider of international wholesale voice services, a wholesale voice-over Internet protocol provider and a wholesale and retail data and bandwidth provider. VSNL was India's incumbent overseas telecommunications infrastructure and services provider until 2002. While domestic calls within the Mumbai and Delhi Metropolitan areas were carried by Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL), all domestic long-distance telecommunication services and infrastructure were provided by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL). After the opening up of the telecommunication sector, VSNL was the sole provider for overseas telecommunication service and infrastructure to private telecommunication operators. It also provided bandwidth for Internet service providers. Today, with the opening of the International Long Distance (ILD) market in India, there are several ILD operators in India like Bharti, Reliance, BSNL, MTNL, etc. VSNL is responsible for operations of the SEA-ME-WE 4 undersea telecommunications cable.

    Since 2002, VSNL has also deployed its own National Long Distance Network providing telecommunication infrastructure & services within India and has become a major player in the Domestic market.

    As of 13 Feb 2008, VSNL has been rebranded as Tata Communications.
