AT&T expanded global reach for its Ethernet portfolio with the availability of a virtual private local area network service (VPLS) across Europe and Asia Pacific this year.  

The service, called OPT-E-WAN(SM), enables businesses to link multiple locations from anywhere.  The service offers the ease and efficiency of a flat Ethernet wide area network that can be extended globally. The service is now available in a total of 20 countries - United States, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden and United Kingdom, in Europe; and Hong Kong, Australia, Singapore and Japan in Asia Pacific. As announced previously, AT&T plans to have the service available in 31 countries by the end of the year.

It would be interesting to know where all the other carrier ethernet service providers stand.
