Tulip gets Letter of Intent for NLD and ILD license by DoT

New Delhi, July 4 (UNI) Tulip IT Services Ltd, provider of end-to-end data connectivity, today said it has been awarded the Letter of Intent (LOI) for the NLD&ILD (National Long Distance&International Long Distance) license by the Department of Telecom (DoT).

Speaking on the occasion, Tulip MD Lt Col H S Bedi said, ''Till now we were operating on the Virtual Private Network license but have now been provided the letter of Intent for the NLD/ILD license.

This license opens a host of business opportunities for the company and Tulip is appropriately positioned to leverage these opportunities.'' Tulip IT Services Ltd initiated business operations in software products in 1992.
