Verizon India Gets License for Virtual Network Operator from DoT

After a long wait, Verizon India has finally got something to cheer as it received Unified License for Virtual Network Operator in India from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). This essentially means that Verizon can now offer internet services in India with the help of other telcos who are already providing services to the customers. Furthermore, it will also enable Verizon’s enterprise customers to take advantage of the company’s entire suite of Managed Network Services – including Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Virtual Network Service (VNS) bundles – with internet connectivity directly sourced from local providers. The license approval was announced by Verizon India in a press statement.
