According to reliable resources, Verizon has quietly started providing data services in Pakistan. Its customers include large banks. Verizon had announced the undersea cable called Trans-Pacific Express earlier and as this video shows, it has plenty of capacity to expand.

This press release mentions that Verizon (to be exact it is Verizon Business, one of the entities of US telecommunication giant, Verizon Communications) has enhanced its global Private IP footprint to support the evolving data needs of its global customer base in Asia. The press release mentions that the company continues to add a significant number of Private IP nodes in key growth territories around the world, and has also enhanced both DSL and Ethernet access capabilities.

As a result, more customers than ever can now benefit from a direct and secure, high-performance link to the Verizon Business global multiprotocol-label-switching (MPLS) network, the foundation for Verizon Business’ portfolio of next-generation products and services.

In the past year, Verizon Business increased its total number of Private IP ports by more than 45 percent and its Ethernet access capabilities by more than 400 percent. New Verizon Private IP nodes have now been established in Asia-Pacific (China, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea); Eastern Europe (Bulgaria and Romania); and Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Panama and Peru). Verizon Private IP is now available to customers in 121 countries and territories worldwide, with additional node deployments planned this year in Iceland, Pakistan, India and Russia.
