Tata Communications Launches Global Content Delivery Network Service Powered By BitGravity

MUMBAI, India and BURLINGAME, California, September 8/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

- Member of the $62.5 Billion Tata Group Invests $11.5 Million in
Award-Winning CDN Company

Tata Communications, a leading provider of a new world of communications,
and BitGravity, Inc., a next-generation Content Delivery Network (CDN) for
interactive broadcasting, announced today the worldwide launch of Tata
Communications' CDN service powered by BitGravity. With more than 300 points
of presence worldwide, Tata Communications now offers the first truly global
CDN service on a state of the art, single ASN global IP network throughout
Europe, Asia, North America and India.

Tata Communications, which announced a strategic partnership with
BitGravity in March, 2008, has also invested $11.5 million in convertible
debt in BitGravity, validating the company's content delivery platform as a
key benefit in Tata Communications' value-added services offering. In turn,
BitGravity has named Tata Communications' Chief Technology Officer, John
Hayduk to its Board of Directors. Tata Communications' financial backing of
BitGravity confirms Tata Communications' commitment to develop and offer
innovative technology solutions to its global customers.

"The launch of Tata Communications' CDN service is a major milestone in
our strategic roadmap to offer unparalleled managed services globally. We
chose to work with BitGravity because it has the best architecture and
technology to deliver high quality content and video," said Vinod Kumar,
Chief Operating Officer, Tata Communications. "Together, Tata Communications
and BitGravity's capabilities are a formidable force to deliver high quality
content and video."

Tata Communications' next-generation CDN service, powered by BitGravity's
technology, delivers the highest performance and reliability in the industry
while providing immediate access to content, including High-Definition Video,
without delay or jitter, and the highest levels of throughput for end users.
Fast forwarding, cache clearing, resolution switching and rate throttling are
just a few of the features that enable customers to build a robust and
engaging application into a Flash Player.

"Video will soon become over 80% of the traffic on the Internet and
content delivery will become strategic for every carrier. Carriers without a
CDN strategy will inevitably become insignificant and will lose the economy
of scale required to be competitive. This is a strategic endeavor for both
Tata Communications and BitGravity and sends a bold message to the global CDN
market," said Berge Avayzian, Chief Strategy Officer of Yankee Group.

"Global reach will be table stakes for content delivery and we are
excited to receive funding and support from a strong strategic investor like
Tata Communications that will enable us to effectively integrate our CDN
architecture with their worldwide backbone and provide an unmatched user
experience. Tata Communications' extensive relationships within and outside
of the communications industry will accelerate the deployment and penetration
of our innovative platform," said Perry Wu, CEO and co-founder of BitGravity.

Tata Communications' Tier 1 IP presence worldwide combined with
BitGravity's leading technology provides an offering that is unmatched in
user experience, performance, quality and reach around the world. Tata
Communications is uniquely positioned to offer quality global delivery and
support, which enables companies to outsource distribution of Video,
Downloads, Music, Games and Multimedia without degradation from Paris to Hong
Kong, Bangalore and the Silicon Valley.

"Two essential ingredients of a superior CDN service include a strong IP
network providing higher performance, and an efficient, scalable file
distribution technology," said Genius Wong, Tata Communications' Senior Vice
President of Global IP and VPN Services. "The design of Tata Communications'
CDN service has taken into account these key factors to come up with the
industry's highest performance and reliable IPv4 and IPv6 CDN service."

Tata Communications' suite of offerings include Tata Communications CDN,
a next-generation CDN designed for a wide range of applications providing the
highest performance and reliability on a global scale; Tata Communications
CDN Plus and CDN Secure, add value designed for the distribution and
protection of media assets; and Tata Communications LiveBroadcast, a high
quality, flash-based streaming service for broadcasters of live events.
