Amsterdam, The Netherlands - November 22, 2005 -- Capacity magazine, the only monthly publication that focuses on the latest business techniques and strategies for bringing innovation and efficiency to the wholesale telecommunications industry, announced that Global Crossing (NASDAQ: GLBC) received its top award and was named "Best Global Wholesale Provider" at its Annual Global Wholesale Awards ceremony last night in Amsterdam. This industry distinction was awarded to Global Crossing for its outstanding achievements in customer service, network availability and product offerings.
"With many qualified candidates from which to choose, the judges enthusiastically agreed that Global Crossing should receive top honors as 'Best Global Wholesale Provider' for consistently delivering market-leading, quality global wholesale services," said Mark Kemp, Capacity's CEO. "Global Crossing has pioneered next-generation services, offering a full range of industry-leading IP, data, and voice products.

"Global Crossing is committed to being the recognized leader in delivering advanced IP solutions to both global enterprises, and the carriers that serve them.
