SINGAPORE -- Singapore Telecommunications Limited (SingTel), Asia's leading communications group, and Cybernet, Pakistan's largest Internet and data network operator, today announced that they have entered into a supply-agreement to provide Internet Protocol-Virtual Private Network (IP-VPN) coverage in Karachi, Pakistan.

SingTel ConnectPlus IP-VPN service is being offered in Pakistan for the very first time.
