(InfoWorld) - Flag Telecom, an international provider of bandwidth owned by Reliance Communications Ltd. in India, has awarded a US$1.5 billion contract to Fujitsu Ltd. for the construction of Flag's next generation network (NGN) submarine cable. Four new cable systems will be constructed across the Mediterranean, East Africa, Asia and the Pacific region, Reliance said on Tuesday. Scheduled to be completed by March 2010, the new IP (Internet Protocol) network over submarine cable will nearly double the length of the Flag global network from the current 65,000 kilometers to 115,000 kms. The network expansion will meet data communications requirements of Flag's more than 200 international customers, consisting of telecommunications service providers, content providers and ISPs (Internet service providers), as well as Reliance enterprise customers in India and those of Yipes Holdings Inc. in the U.S., a Reliance spokesman said Tuesday. Reliance announced in July that it is acquiring Yipes, a U.S. provider of Ethernet managed services. Reliance also plans to use the Flag network to roll out Yipes' service worldwide. "We aim to be a global infrastructure provider," the spokesman said. Indian telecommunications infrastructure and services providers like Reliance and Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (VSNL) have invested in communications infrastructure outside India to strengthen their offerings in the country and address global markets. VSNL acquired in Tyco Global Network, a submarine fiber optics telecommunications network, from Tyco International Ltd. in July 2005. The Flag NGN project consists of four systems. System 1 will connect India to Hong Kong with potential interconnection to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines and Cambodia. Flag NGN System 2 will connect India to Kenya with potential extension to South Africa and Reunion, and later Mozambique, Tanzania, Madagascar, Mayotte and Mauritius. System 3 will connect Egypt to France with potential extension to Syria, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Malta, Libya, Tunisia and Italy, while System 4 in the Pacific will link Japan to the U.S. west coast. The $1.5 billion contract to Fujitsu covers the cable build, including installation, commissioning and testing of Systems 1 and 3. A letter of intent has been issued to Fujitsu for the other two systems, and the contract for these will be awarded later, Reliance said. Reliance Communications, a communications and infrastructure company in Mumbai, acquired Flag Telecom Ltd. in January 2004 as part of its strategy to be a communications bandwidth provider to customers in India and other countries.

(InfoWorld) - The subcontractor accused of mistreating workers at an iPod factory in China dropped its libel suit against two reporters and the news organization they work for in Shanghai. Hong Fujin Precision Industry Co., the largest exporter of IT products in China, withdrew the libel suit on Sunday, according to a statement. TheÂ lawsuit sought damagesÂ of 1 renminbi ($0.13) from the two reporters and the China Business News, over a June 15 story that allegedÂ employees were worked so hardÂ at the iPod factory that three women passed out on the production line. The dismissal of the suit comes just days after press freedom group, Reporters Without Borders, asked the head of Apple ComputerÂ to step in and mediate the disagreement. It also follows a Saturday report by the Xinhua News Agency that the Chinese government ordered Hong Fujin to allow its workers set up a trade union that would be affiliated with the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU). "The two sides have apologized for any difficulties created by this matter and agreed to work hand in hand to build a harmonious society and promote the hard work and rights of workers," Hong Fujin and China Business News said in a joint statement posted on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The statement was posted by Hong Fujin's Taiwanese parent company, Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. The companies operate under the trade name, Foxconn Technology Group. Hong Fujin declined to comment further on the matter. Reporters Without Borders said Apple worked behind the scenes to resolve issue. The computer maker could not immediately be reached for comment. Hong Fujin had sought redress through the defamation lawsuit after a whirlwind of bad publicity over allegations that it treated workers poorly. The China Business News story was one of many to follow in the wake of an article by the British newspaper Mail on Sunday alleging long hours, low pay and poor working conditions at the Longhua, China, site., which produces iPods as well as other IT products. Apple Computer investigated the claims, and found Hong Fujin in compliance with the majority of its requirements despite several violations of the company's supplier code of conduct, including unsatisfactory living and transportation conditions for workers. Hong Fujin is building new dormitories for workers and seeking ways to improve the way it busses employees from factories to dormitories.
