HONG
KONG -- AT&T has announced that its customers throughout
Asia Pacific region have access to global Internet roaming
services from more than 140 countries worldwide. AT&T
has increased the number of local dial access points

to AT&T global managed Internet services (GMIS),
including customer managed router options, usage based

GMIS provides customers with the flexibility of owning

a complete end-to-end solution. This option is tailored
for customers who wish to manage their own corporate
VPNs. Customers may also take advantage of the new usage
based reporting and usage based billing plans, with
flexible billing to match fluctuating traffic requirements
to suit their business needs.
