OSAKA -- KVH Telecom Co., a Tokyo-based provider of broadband communications services, announced Thursday the launch of its services here, and President and CEO Rakesh Bhasin said he is confident about his firm's first operation outside Tokyo.
KVH Telecom will provide a facilities-based fiber-optic network covering Osaka's key business areas, where the company sees many business opportunities, he said in an interview Wednesday.
"Tokyo is a bigger market than Osaka, but still (Osaka) is a very significant market," he said, noting that many companies have backup data centers in Osaka in case of any disaster in Tokyo.
