China ends India's monopoly on Internet services to Nepal
Nepal on Friday opened a new optical fibre link to China, ending its dependence on India for Internet services. Although work on a previous link was completed in 2014, it was destroyed during the 2015 Nepal earthquake. Earlier, Internet services to Nepal were provided by Bharti Airtel and Tata Communications through Siddharthanagar, Biratnagar and Birgunj cities in southern Nepal.
