NTT Com Expands Global IP-VPN in Russia

TOKYO and MOSCOW, March 4, 2010 - NTT Communications Corp. (NTT Com), a global ICT solutions provider, and
Company TTK (TTK), the operator of Russia's largest fiber-optic network,
announced on March 4 the interconnection of NTT Com's Arcstar(TM) Global
IP-VPN and TTK's IP-VPN services in Russia, and the availability of Arcstar
Global IP-VPN service throughout Russia.

As Japanese and other multinational companies expand their operations
beyond Moscow and Saint Petersburg into the Russian Far East and other
regions, their needs for efficient ICT networks are growing. By
interconnecting their two networks and harmonizing basic specifications and
procedures, NTT Com and TTK will provide multinational customers with
reliable, seamless, low-cost access between offices worldwide and throughout
Russia.

"NTT Communications has been working aggressively to support the global
expansion of multinational enterprises by providing them with a growing range
of high-quality services," said NTT Com's Yosuke Seki, Vice President of
Service Development in the Global Business Division. "Russia is a key
emerging market for our customers, a main reason why we established NTT
Communications Russia in January 2009. TTK, of course, has been a strategic
partner of ours since 2006, when we began collaborating on the
Hokkaido-Sakhalin Cable System. The interconnection of our IP-VPN services
now enables us to provide fully managed ICT services throughout Russia in
support of our customers' ICT optimization initiatives."

"With our Russia-wide network, NTT Com will be able to secure good
service coverage in the Russian Federation for its Global IP-VPN network. For
us it is another important step forward in our cooperation," said Igor
Kelshev, TTK Senior Vice President for International Sales and Marketing.

The strategic partnership between NTT Com and TTK began with a memorandum
of understanding signed in 2006 to develop data networks, which resulted in
the construction and launch of the Hokkaido-Sakhalin Cable System, a 570 km,
640 gigabit/second undersea fiber-optic cable linking Ishikari, Hokkaido, and
Nevelsk, Sakhalin, the shortest route between Japan and Russia.

Arcstar Global IP-VPN services are available in 159 countries and
regions.
