FLAG Telecom and VSNL (Q, N,C,F)* today announced that the companies have reached agreement on 4 May 2004 for the sale of 17 STM-1s of capacity on the FLAG Europe Asia (FEA) cable system into/from India.

Under the terms of this agreement, six STM-1 westward and 11 STM-1 eastward will become available immediately to the marketplace

access for existing capacity available under C&MA for sale on FEA Cable System.

Additionally, VSNL has reduced its landing station access charges per STM-1 by 25% and FLAG has agreed to the allocation of
five STM-1s to VSNL at a non-discriminatory price.
