'We are looking at contact centers and ISPs in India'

What
is going to be your focus in India?

We are looking at contact centers and ISPs, primarily to provide them
Internet backbone services. We have our teleport in Central London offering IP
trunking, voice and data services, and connectivity to our clients around the
world. We have our own satellites having a footprint over India besides stake in
Eutelsat and Europ*star.

Your important clients in India...

In India we have recently signed up our first contract with a Hyderabad-based
company, In TechNet, to provide high quality Internet backbone solution to India
using the Europe*star satellite.

Tell us about Telenor’s presence in India.

We have three divisions–broadcasting, Internet, and content and
interactive services. The first offers TV services to the private market and
distribution services to broadcasters and other content and service providers.
The second takes care of Internet access and services over narrowband technology
(ISDN/PSTN), and high-speed Internet (ADSL and cable). The content and
interactive services division develops and offers interactive services for
broadband users, in addition to managing content and content rights.
