In return, Verizon will be able to leverage the Synterra network and send customer traffic to major cities throughout Russia. Both companies say the joint agreement, signed in Moscow a few days ago during the week of the US-Russian presidential summit, will provide significant benefits to their customers. Under the agreement, independent telecommunications system operators in Russia will send their traffic to the Synterra data centre in Moscow, where the traffic will be transferred to the Verizon Business global network.
