PCCW's Beyond the Network Provides Connectivity Solutions to TransTeleCom of Russia

Deal Empowers Russia's Largest Provider of Broadband Communication Services to Provide Wholesale International Internet Access Solutions

Hong Kong August 8, 2001 - Global Internet connectivity provider, Beyond the Network (BtN), a wholly owned subsidiary of PCCW (SEHK: 0008, ADR-NYSE: PCW), announced today that Russia's leading telecom operator, TransTeleCom Company ("TTC"), has signed an agreement to lease a committed STM4 of capacity (equivalent to 622 Mbps) by connecting into a BtN Multi-Service IP Port in London.

Signed in Hong Kong between BtN's Chief Operating Officer Braham Singh and TTC's President Victor Ratnikov, the agreement will enable TTC to provide end-to-end international IP solutions to its domestic customers including Internet Access, MPLS enabled Virtual Circuits and VOIP.

Since its launch in February 2001, BtN has built a legacy-free, all IP-based Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)-enabled network across Europe, Asia and the Americas, providing ISPs and emerging telecom carriers with faster, more flexible and scalable connectivity solutions worldwide through unique BtN Multi-Service IP ports.

Such sales illustrate the close cooperation between BtN and Reach, the joint venture between PCCW and Telstra. Reach provides the underlying transmission to the BtN backbone. In addition, all IP virtual circuits sold by TransTeleCom for Asia termination shall run over Reach's owned SMW3 transmission between the UK and Hong Kong.

"With our global network expansion under way, we are pleased to form a strategic relationship with TransTeleCom and jointly deliver our advanced solutions to the Russian market, which carries strong business development potential," said Jeffrey Stark, BtN's Executive Vice President and General Manager for Latin America, Europe, Commonwealth of Independent States and South Asia. "Thanks to the relationship, we believe we are well positioned to address the Russian market through TransTeleCom's infrastructure."

Attending the signing ceremony today, Mr. Ratnikov said: "This agreement will empower TTC to provide end-to-end, international solutions to its domestic customers, as well as to offer high quality, diversified connectivity to Asian and European operators."

TTC, as Russia's largest provider of broadband communication services, can now speed up its offering of MPLS-enabled VPN services into Russia and deliver services such as data, video, voice and streaming media to TTC's 900 domestic nodes, through a single BtN Multi-Service IP Port.
