Nepal Telecom, connecting Nepal with Chinese internet!!!




After a long wait, Nepal is finally set to receive internet bandwidth from China from Friday, 12th Janurary. Earlier in December last year, China Telecom Global Limited (CTG) and Nepal Telecom reached an agreement to deliver Internet Protocol services in Nepal through a newly-launched terrestrial cable route connecting China and Nepal via the Jilong gateway. 

 According to NT officials, once the country is connected to Internet bandwidth of the northern neighbor, users will be able to use uninterrupted Internet services even when connection with Indian side is disrupted due to any reason. The connection with China is likely to provide various alternatives for users as NT can purchase bandwidth from different Chinese companies.According to the state-owned telecom operator, Nepali users will not face any problems in using Google and other social networks because the company is planning to purchase bandwidth from Hong Kong. [source: Republica]
