The awards, held at Capacity Europe 2008, recognize significant key market players that applied innovation and successful techniques and strategies to their wholesale businesses to have established themselves as leaders in the global wholesale telecoms industry.

“Tata Communications is thrilled to be recognized once again among our peers by the Capacity organization for our efforts in the telecommunications industry,” said Michel Guyot, President, Global Voice Solutions for Tata Communications. “The award for ‘Best Market Strategy’ exemplifies our continued commitment to offering the most innovative wholesale solutions and superior network reach to our customers doing business in rapidly growing markets around the world.”

The panel of judges, which included Mark Kemp, CEO, Matthew Whalley, Editor of Capacity magazine as well as Dr. Judy Reed Smith, Founder & CEO, ATLANTIC-ACM, created this award specifically to recognize Tata Communications global strategy in the telecommunications market.

“Throughout 2008, Tata Communications’ partnership and acquisition strategy has allowed the company to grow its reach and influence across an international footprint,” said Matthew Whalley. “Tata Communications has invested in the development of its business while implementing an international strategy that has reaffirmed its place as an elite global carrier.”

In 2008, Tata Communications focused on increasing its presence, service offering and network reach in emerging markets around the world. Earlier this year the company announced a joint venture subject to fulfillment of conditions precedent, a 50% ownership in China Enterprise Communications (CEC) providing full country VPN coverage in China and acquired a majority stake in NEOTEL, the second national operator of South Africa.
