- In August 2003, Asia Netcom and China Netcom agreed to interconnect their IP VPN infrastructure to enable seamless services across their networks. China Netcom is the largest shareholder in Asia Netcom, whose other major stakeholders include Newbridge Capital and Softbank Asia Infrastructure Fund. The IP VPN interconnection agreement is complemented with a new Internet peering agreement between Asia Netcom and China Netcom. The peering agreement enables one-hop access to Chinese online content by delivering Internet traffic from Asia Netcom’s global IP backbone directly into China Netcom’s national Internet infrastructure. Asia Netcom and China Netcom recently completed the interconnection of Asia Netcom’s regional fiber network with the national fiber backbone of China Netcom. This provides direct Layer 1 interconnection of Asia Netcom’s SDH network to China Netcom’s national fiber backbone as well as local loops in 80 major cities across China.
