Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (VSNL) said its US unit had received a license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allowing it to operate as a US international telecommunications carrier.

The license allows VSNL to provide telecommunications services to US multinationals looking to penetrate emerging markets such as India, said Vinod Kumar, head of VSNL's international business group.

VSNL is steadily expanding its global presence. It has operations in neighbouring Sri Lanka and Nepal and is in the process of setting up operations in Singapore, Hong Kong, UK and the United States.
