VSNL International : historical lambda provider to the R&E
Feb 1995: Teleglobe provides the first NGI connection for the Brussels G7 Summit:: 155mb Teleglobe donates the capacity for two years to Canarie and co-represents Canada in the
GIBN (Global Interopability of Broadband Networks) As member of the Canarie technical advisory Council, Teleglobe encourages the creation of
Starlight in Chicago. 2001: Teleglobe sets up the first transoceanic lambda linking Surfnet to Starlight at 2.5 gbps
First lambdagrid workshop in Amsterdam 2002: iGrid2002 Amsterdam, Tyco provides a 10gig connection between Netherlight and
Abilene in NY through the IEEAF foundation. Level3 provides the second transatlantic link. 2003: creation of GLIF at the third lambdagrid workshop in Reykjavik. Tyco provides the
Pacific and Atlantic connectivity for «little Gloriad». Teleglobe had provided the predecessor project Naukanet.
November 2004: VSNL acquires Tyco cable networks (GTS) 2005: Gloriad expands with a Tyco/VSNL 10 gbps link between Korea and the US February 2006: VSNL acquires Teleglobe

Some final thoughts
Back in 1994-1995, the thought of multiple 10 gig waves was distant future. The brand new Cantat-3 cable, lit in october 1994 with 5 gbps design capacity doubled the transatlantic
capacity and was supposed to take 17 years to fill! Then came internet! A prediction of cable builds with 1000 times that capacity 5 years later would have been met with ridicule
DWDM and unrealistic growth forecasts contributed to the big telecom crash. Major shift in cable-ownership: Asia owns most of the intra-Asia and Transpacific capacity.
Current capacity enough for big science projects? Commercial applications for end-to end user controlled light paths? A lambda divide on top of a digital divide?
Who would predict it will take 17 years to fill current and currently planned capacity? The next 10 years are bound to bring their share of major surprises. Soliton technology?
Petabit level cable capacity?
