Global Crossing Receives Capacity Magazine's "Best Latin American Wholesale Offering" Award
Florham Park, N.J. - November 18, 2008 -- Global Crossing (NASDAQ: GLBC), a leading global IP solutions provider, today announced it won top honors from a panel of industry thought leaders at Capacity magazine's Annual Global Wholesale Telecommunications Awards ceremony during its Capacity Europe 2008 event in Amsterdam last night. Global Crossing received Capacity's award for "Best Latin American Wholesale Offering," which recognizes the carrier for demonstrated thought leadership in the development and implementation of its wholesale strategy in the region.
Global Crossing's award submission is based on its market strategy in five categories: quality and performance of network, reach of network, speed to market, pricing strategy and investment in network.
"Global Crossing has shown both reach and commitment in the Latin American market as it continues to develop its offering across the region," said Matthew Whalley, editor of Capacity magazine. "With operations in more than 200 cities in Latin America and 15 data centers across the continent, Global Crossing has established itself as a reliable source of connectivity in one of the world's fastest developing markets. Global Crossing is rising to meet the challenges of this unique market."
"We are committed to delivering superior IP, collaboration and convergence services to local, regional and global enterprises and the carriers that serve them," said Omar Altaji, Global Crossing's executive vice president of Worldwide Carrier Services. "We thank Capacity magazine and its panel of judges for honoring the company and acknowledging the value of our wholesale strategy in Latin America."
In 2007, Global Crossing was recognized for its strategic contribution to the wholesale carrier market with Capacity's "Best Wholesale Strategy Award." In 2006, Global Crossing was named for the second year in a row as "Best Global Wholesale Provider." That same year, Global Crossing CEO John Legere was named "Best Business Leader of the Year."
Capacity's Global Wholesale Telecommunications Awards recognize top wholesale telecommunications providers. Global Crossing was judged by a panel of industry thought leaders, including members of Capacity's editorial staff and Dr. Judy Reed Smith, chief executive officer of ATLANTIC-ACM, a leading telecommunications research consultancy. Winners will be featured in Capacity magazine's December cover story alongside photos from the event.

The entry categories illustrate Capacity's focus on the business techniques needed for innovation and success in the rapidly evolving wholesale market.
