NTT Com, VNNIC to Offer Tier-1 Global IPv6/IPv4 Transit Service in Vietnam

TOKYO and HANOI, Vietnam, April 26, 2011 - NTT Communications (NTT Com) and the Vietnam Internet Network Information
Center (VNNIC) jointly announced on April 26 an agreement to cooperate in
providing Internet service providers (ISPs) and Internet content providers
(ICPs) in Vietnam with global access via NTT Com's Tier-1 network, beginning
no later than the end of June.

VNNIC, a Ministry of Information and Communication affiliate that manages
domain names and Internet exchange points, approached NTT Com to collaborate
in meeting the growing demand for access in Vietnam, where Internet traffic
has increased more than four times in the past three years.

NTT Com will work with local partners to provide direct connection to NTT
Com's Tier-1 network via VNNIC-prepared infrastructure. The result will give
ISPs and ICPs a new option for providing customers with enhanced, low-latency
Internet environments and robust connection to content and services
worldwide. NTT Com's Tier-1 IP backbone network offers direct connections to
ISPs in more than 150 countries.

The collaboration also will enable VNNIC, an IPv6 facilitator, to provide
companies in Vietnam with IPv6/IPv4 dual-stack connectivity to the
world-class Tier-1 IPv6 network powered by NTT Com. Strengthened development
of IPv6 in Vietnam will represent an important milestone in the ongoing
global effort to move beyond the limitations of IPv4 technologies.

NTT Communications Vietnam, NTT Com's local subsidiary, will collaborate
with VNNIC on service provision, as well as provide end-user companies with
technical support for transitioning to IPv6.
