Bogotá, Colombia - October 6, 2008 -- Global Crossing (NASDAQ: GLBC), a leading global IP solutions provider, today announced that it is enhancing its Global Crossing Collaboration Solutions in Colombia with features specifically designed to fulfill the demands of the local market.

By utilizing Global Crossing Collaboration Solutions, customers in Colombia will now benefit from local billing, a dedicated local support team and Global Crossing access numbers.

"The main purpose of this service is to enable the sharing of data, presentations, and applications while receiving participants' feedback in real time at their own workplaces," said Jaime Pelaez, president of Global Crossing in Colombia.
