14 Nov 2006
Singapore Pte Ltd (VSNL International), the overseas arm of international long distance carrier VSNL, has been rated as the 'best wholesale carrier' at the 2006 World Communication Awards (WCA), from among 254 companies.
VSNL International and its flagship wholesale brand Teleglobe were chosen as the 'best wholesale carrier' by an independent panel.
The judges included Kenneth Cukier, technology and public policy editor, The Economist; Michael Bartholomew, director, The European Telecommunications Network Operators' Association; Sean Collins, KPMG global communications and media practice; Frederick Knops, vice president and partner, Booz Allen Hamilton; and Manoj Menon, analyst, Frost & Sullivan, Singapore, among others.
According to David Molony, editor-in-chief, Total Telecom magazine, and one of the judges, "VSNL International claims the number one position in the international wholesale voice market with more than 17 billion minutes carried in the last year. The company is already in an impressive position internationally, and is working hard to continue to get more multinationals on board."
Molony also said, "VSNL International customers are impressed with its range of high quality competitively priced selective termination and broad code coverage. What was the Teleglobe, Tyco and ITXC businesses, now represents a formidable force in the global telecommunications industry."
