R-ADAG's Flag bags $35 mn China Netcom deal

Flag Telecom, the global telecom arm of the Anil Ambani-led Reliance Communications, is believed to have won a $35 million international deal for providing international bandwidth to China Netcom.

Under this contract, Flag Telecom would provide close to 50GB of high-quality international bandwidth for the retail broadband operations of the Chinese telecom major. The deal, among the largest across the Pacific.

Flag would be providing the link between China and West Coast of the US to China Netcom, sources said.

Earlier this week, Anil Ambani, chairman of Reliance-Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (R-ADAG), made a visit to 4 countries in the Middle East where he signed deals that would earn revenues of over $ 150 million on the Reliance Communications' soon-to-be-launched Falcon Cable.

This mega deal across the Pacific comes shortly after the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group company made waves by bagging the largest enterprise deal across the trans-Atlantic under which it would provide 150-200 GB of international bandwidth for the retail broadband operations of Deutsche Telekom AG.

Anil Ambani had met up with senior level delegations of OmanTel, ITC - Saudi, Bahrain's Batelco and Ministry of Telecommunications, Kuwait where plans of enabling the broadband revolution in the oil-rich states were discussed.
