AFAIK MTNL keeps coming out with tenders every 3-4 months for procuring bandwidth...sometimes its VSNL that gets it..sometimes reliance..sometimes bothBTW VSNL is 45% owned by Tata, Indian govt owns only 26%..i dont think MTNL has VSNL's bandwidth at its disposal, besides i read somewhere that they have been guilty of throttling BSNL's intl traffic unnecessarily in the past
