Dear Mr. Vegesna:

respect to this issue does not preclude further review by the Assistant Director group with respect
to other issues.   At this juncture, we are asking you to provide us with informa tion so we may
better understand your disclosure.

Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the requested

1. We are aware of news articles reporting that you have an agreement with  Gulf Bridge
International, which intends to build an undersea telecom cable network connecting to
Iran, to land its cable system in India; and that you have an agreement with Saudi
Telecom Company, which operates a terrestrial cable system connecting to S yria, to
access its network in the Middle East.  We also are aware of articles reporting statements
by your CEO that those networks would enable your enterprise customers to connect to
Middle Eastern countries like Sudan.  Iran, Sudan, and Syria are design ated as state
sponsors of terrorism by the U.S. Department of State, and are subject to U.S. economic

 sanctions and export controls.  Your Form 20 -F does not include disclosure about
operations related to Iran, Sudan, or Syria.

Please describe to us the n ature and extent of any past, current, and anticipated contacts
with Iran, Sudan, and Syria, whether through direct or indirect arrangements.  Your
response should describe any products, equipment, software, technology, information,
support, and services y ou have provided into Iran, Sudan, or Syria, directly or indirectly,
and any agreements, arrangements, or other contacts you have had with the governments
of those countries or entities they control.
2. Please discuss for us the materiality of any contacts wi th Iran, Sudan, and Syria  you
describe in response to the foregoing comment, and whether those contacts constitute a
material investment risk for your security holders.  You should address materiality in
quantitative terms, including the approximate dollar amounts of any  associated revenues,
assets, and liabilities for the last three fiscal years and the subsequent interim period .  Also,
address materiality in terms of qualitative factors that a reasonable investor would deem
important in making an in vestment decision, including the potential impact of corporate
activities upon a company’s reputation and share value.  Various state and municipal
governments, universities, and other investors have proposed or adopted divestment or
similar initiatives re garding investment in companies that do business with U.S. -designated
state sponsors of terrorism.  Your materiality analysis should address the potential impact
of the investor sentiment evidenced by such actions directed toward companies that have
operat ions associated with Iran, Sudan, or Syria.

We urge all persons who are responsible  for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure
in the filing to be certain that the filing includes the information the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and all applicable Exchange Act rules require.  Since the company and its management are
in possession of all facts relating to the company’s disclosure, they are responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.

In responding to our comments, please provide a written statement from the company
acknowledging that:

 the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

 staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose
the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and

 the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by
the Commissio n or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
