nominated in two categories for the World Communication Awards 2008
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:10092008
TeliaSonera International Carrier has been nominated in the Best
Wholesale Carrier and the Green Award categories for the annual World
Communication Awards.
The World Communication Awards recognise the companies and individuals
behind the innovations, achievements and new services that are building
the communications industry. The Awards are open to all communications
providers, including traditional carriers, service providers,
multimedia content providers and other organisations providing
communication services.
"We are very proud of being nominated in two categories this year. The
Best Wholesale Carrier category and the Green Award," says Malin
Frenning, President TeliaSonera International Carrier.
"The recognition is very encouraging and an important step in our
ambition to become one of the three largest global IP carriers. Winning
the award for Best Wholesale Carrier 2007 challenged us to pursue our
successful strategy. Being nominated in the Green Award 2008 makes us
especially proud. We just recently launched a free service allowing
operators and Internet Service Providers to be able to deny their users
access to web sites containing material depicting child sexual abuse."
The service is based on a solution provided by the Swedish company
NetClean Technologies and the UK-based organisation Internet Watch
Foundation.
TeliaSonera International Carrier is the only pan-European provider of
wholesale services that can offer IP, capacity and voice services.
These services are backed by a consistently high quality of service and
solid service agreements. The combination of IP, capacity and voice
services gives customers a unique opportunity to position their
business for IP convergence.
TeliaSonera International Carrier also provides packages services for
selected customer segments (community-based wholesale). Currently, we
serve the gaming, media, mobile and VoIP segments. By customizing
services specifically for these segments, we are able to meet
individual and very different customer needs. For the customer, this
reduces costs, simplifies administration and provides new business
opportunities.
The price ceremony will take place in London in November. Other
nominees in the categories are among others AT&T, Orange and BT.

award was the fact that we provide consistently high-quality services.
