My opinion , Who they fooling? The main reason for POP and the agreed marriage is most likely linked to teleglobe. Tata are going to make a mistake on this one. AK, is nothing more than a regular ISP which depends on the likes of KDN to give clients connectivity.  They have no national network, not even a regional one. ( corrections welcome ) And a question for Tata's miscalculation : If Service Providers like AK have sung the chorus on bandwidth, who excatly is the POP going to offer its services to?
