VSNL seems to be going global right now (they've been setting up
branches and hiring CEOs for them in the USA, Europe and elsewhere) - so
I'm sure they'll be able to use whatever cable tyco has laid.
Tyco also has a fleet of undersea cable laying vessels, if I'm not wrong
.. and Reliance / Flag Telecom is looking to drag a lot of new fiber
into India.
