Orange named Best Global Operator and Best Mobile Operator at World Communication Awards 2008
Orange was awarded three of the telecom industry’s highest accolades at last
night’s annual World Communication Awards (WCA), held in London. For the third consecutive year, Orange Business Services
was awarded ‘Best Global Operator’ and for the second year running, Orange was
awarded ‘Best Mobile Operator’. Yarid Chir, also of Orange Business Services, was honoured with the tribute
of Best Change Maker for establishing an organisation (NQT) which helps people
from disadvantaged areas in Paris to find work suited to their skills.
One of the judges said, “We were pleased to award Best Global Operator to Orange Business Services due to its impressive service expansions into new markets like Russia, where it is building a whole new network. The evidence of how they were able to leverage their core competencies to outpace the market level of growth for ICT was striking.” He adds, “Orange also clearly stood out for the Best Mobile Operator award because of its continued scale and innovation. It has been consistently growing revenue and subscribers, entering new markets and achieving number one or two positions and introducing innovative services – thoroughly deserved.”
Celebrating 10 years of corporate and personal success in global communications, the World Communication Awards, recognises significant achievements and developments in the global telecoms industry. Orange and Orange Business Services were short listed in nine of 11 award submissions. Orange was also awarded ‘Highly Commended’ for Orange Sport Info (Best Content Service), Orange Business Together (Best Managed Service) and for Near-Field Communications* (Best Technology Foresight).
These achievements come just a month after Orange reported solid third quarter financial results and underlines the company’s continued vision and leadership in the telecommunications industry.
