Economic Times — May 24, 2007

Tata group's telecommunication services provider company Videsh Sanchar Nigam (VSNL) on Thursday said it has selected Teleglobe Voice Termination Service (VTS) to provide call termination for SkypeOut.

"We have the necessary global footprint, relationships and expertise in international voice market to support companies like Skype, as well as broadband providers," VSNL president (global voice solutions) Michel Guyot said in a statement.

Teleglobe allows direct traffic exchange with the VSNL network providing significant savings in capital and operating expenses, reduction in time and costs along with added capacity, it said.

"We chose to partner with VSNL for international VTS because their services allow us to quickly connect to a global network without the operational burden and the expenses associated with interoperability requirements," Skype vice-president Scott Bagby said in the statement.
