Another Indian company which has interests in International Bandwidth, VSNL is also investing around USD360 million to connect India to the Middle Eastern market. Reliance has pre-sold 50% of the capacity of FALCON and has entered into long term bandwidth contracts with OmanTel, Integrated Telecom, QTel, Batelco, Telecom Egypt, YemenTel and MoC Kuwait.
