VSNL seems to be going global right now (they've been setting up 
branches and hiring CEOs for them in the USA, Europe and elsewhere) - so 
I'm sure they'll be able to use whatever cable tyco has laid.

Tyco also has a fleet of undersea cable laying vessels, if I'm not wrong 
.. and Reliance / Flag Telecom is looking to drag a lot of new fiber 
into India.
