New York (NYSE) & Mumbai (BSE) – 16 November 2011 – Tata Communications, a global communications service provider that owns and operates the world’s largest subsea cable network, today announces the launch of 40 gigabits per second enabled services on its TGN-Atlantic subsea cable system from New York to London.
