New Delhi to New York

Delhi-based Data Access has announced the launch of commercial operations in the US, with the inauguration of a switch facility in New York. At the same time it had confirmed plans to break into Mexico and the rest of Latin America. Data Access, which counts Hong Kong giant PCCW as a shareholder, claims to be the fastest growing international long-distance carrier in India with a 40% market share. It further asserts that it is the first Indian company to obtain a full carrier licence from the FCC to offer long-distance and broadcasting services in the US.
