India's Data Access Enters North American VoIP Business

Data Access, a fast growing international long distance carrier in India, activated a New York VoIP switching facility. The company was granted a facility-based 214 carrier license in December 2002. The New York switch is interconnected with Data Access' global network and is delivering traffic to 230 countries around the world. All nine nodal switches across the Data Access Network are managed and controlled from the Data Access Super NOC in New Delhi, India. Data Access said this off-shore operational model would give it a cost-advantage compared to most of the international carriers located in North America. Data Access anticipates further expansion to Mexico, Latin American countries, the Philippines and Japan.
