"With many qualified

Capacity's Annual Global
Wholesale Awards recognizes top
wholesale telecommunications providers.
The "Best Global Wholesale Provider"
award is the highest honor a provider
can receive. Global Crossing was judged
by a panel of industry thought-leaders,
including: Camille Mendler, vice
president of the Yankee Group; Stephen
Young, research director of OVUM; Judy
Reed Smith, CEO of Atlantic-ACM; Mark
Kemp, CEO of TelCap and publisher of
Capacity; and Eira Haywood, editor of
Capacity. In addition to acknowledging
Global Crossing's customer service,
network availability and robust product
offering, the judging panel made special
mention of Global Crossing's Fast Track™
portfolio of wholesale services which
helps service providers extend their
geographic reach and reduce their time
to market.
"This award, along with
other industry honors we have received
for our strategy, innovation and product
differentiation, provide further
evidence to customers as to why they
should choose Global Crossing as their
service provider," said Pieter Duijves,
Global Crossing's managing director of
Europe. "We appreciate this important
industry accolade and will continue to
strive to keep our standards high and
our customers happy."
Mr. Kemp presented the
"Best Global Wholesale Provider" award
to Mr. Duijves on behalf of Global
Crossing at the Capacity Europe 2005
convention in Amsterdam. In early
December, Capacity will publish an
awards supplement to the magazine with a
full list of award winners.
