DAKC (Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City), Navi Mumbai, July 29, 2004

Reliance Infocomm today announced the launch of India's first MPLS Global VPN service in association with communications giant MCI, one of largest providers of converged IP, data and voice communications in the world. The agreement enables Reliance Infocomm to offer its business customers seamless global MPLS-based VPN connections by leveraging MCI's expansive global network infrastructure.

This new strategic relationship will significantly enhance Reliance's ability to address the growing demand for a single, converged and secure international connectivity solution from IT enabled services, Business Process Outsourcing and multinational companies. Under terms of the agreement, MCI is installing MPLS network nodes in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore that will enable MCI to deliver seamless access to its global Private IP network throughout India using connections to the nationwide Reliance Infocomm MPLS VPN network. The global reach of the MPLS-based MCI Private IP network is undergoing rapid expansion worldwide and will have a presence in 48 countries by the end of 2004.

"This partnership will extend India's infocomm reach across the world, enabling Indian Transnational Corporations to get the benefit of end-to-end VPN connectivity for their businesses between India and the world. It will also benefit MCI by opening up India's expanding market to its global customers, providing access to one of the fastest growing economies in the world," said Mr. BD Khurana, Group President, Reliance Infocomm Ltd.

"Together, this relationship will benefit both companies by efficiently extending the reach of our respective MPLS VPN networks with maximum speed and minimal capital investment," said Seth Blumenfeld, President of MCI International. "By partnering with MCI, Reliance Infocomm is expanding its international reach through MCI's global Private IP network, and, at the same time, MCI is afforded the opportunity to broaden our MPLS VPN coverage throughout India."

Reliance global VPN services offer customers a simple, cost-effective transitional path from traditional data networks to contemporary IP networking with the option of using their existing frame relay or ATM wide area network (WAN) equipment. The MPLS foundation of Reliance Global VPN helps businesses better control their networks and enhance their efficiency by leveraging the traffic routing and bandwidth utilization capabilities of MPLS. MPLS VPN is the solution for companies that require the highest quality of service to carry integrated voice, video and data with the security of a private network, while providing Internet access and a means to securely connect remote and mobile users to their corporate networks.

Is it enough that MCI:

Committed accounting fraud approaching $10 billion?

Caused the loss of $3 billion in pension funds?

Caused investor losses exceeding $176 billion?

Caused the loss of investor confidence in the free market system?

Caused the lay-offs of tens of thousands of hard-working innocent people industry wide?

Caused the misery of hundreds of thousands of families struggling to make ends meet?

Is MCI the same company which was called WorldCom sometime ago and commited the world's biggest telecom fraud ?

If yes, the Reliance got a perfect match.
