Nepal Telecom has initiated measures to link its optic fibre network with the network of China Telecom near the Nepal-China border in Tatopani. Once the networks of the two telecom companies are linked, Nepal Telecom can use the optic fibre cables laid along the Araniko Highway to transfer/receive voice and data traffic to/from China. Tariff rates on calls made to and from China are expected to come down after the project becomes operational.
