Telstra Incorporated, the U.S. subsidiary of Australia's ILEC, Telstra, a global service provider, has announced a wide range of data services are now available to U.S. ISPs, CLECs, and integrators.

The company specializes in serving medium-sized and large enterprise customers with offices or customers in Asia.

"The key benefit for service providers is the ability to use our network on a 'pay as you grow' basis. This minimizes capital risk and operational costs by eliminating the need to build out a network. Another value of the Telstra Service Provider offering is that many of the Services are provided by REACH, the top IP backbone operator in Asia," says Arthur Weissman, director of channel development for Telstra Incorporated.

"Asia represents a very fast growing area of the world, and service providers, as they grow, need to look to these fast growing regions," adds Dan Kerth, president and COO of Telstra Incorporated.

"If your client expands, we can help you grow the service with them," agrees Weissman.

The company is making the offer now, even though it's been in the U.S. for several years, in order to raise its profile. "Companies tend to go with the big three or four, and might not be familiar with a company like Telstra that's been in the Asia Pacific region for over fifty years," says Weissman.

"The differentiating factor for our service is that we are the top rated backbone in Asia," adds Kerth. "We bring expertise, infrastructure, and the ability to work with the customer. We combine that with a company that's here with a formalized program to drive these services."

So if you're looking for bandwidth providers in Asia, don't forget Telstra Incorporated.
