The World Teleport Associations 2008 Top Teleport Operators league has been announced, and for the fourth year running, content management and delivery company GlobeCast enjoys a high ranking on both the Global Top Twenty and Independent Top Twenty categories.
The list, which provides a unique look into the diverse teleport sector of the global communications industry, is conducted by surveying teleport operators around the world on their facilities, services and business results. According to the World Teleport Association, these rankings provide a unique insight into the often unappreciated realities of the teleport sector.
GlobeCast came second in the Independent Top Twenty category, which excludes operators and recognises companies based on revenue from all sources.
In addition, GlobeCast was sixth in the Global Top Twenty, which ranks companies based on revenues from all customized communications sources and includes operators of teleports, satellite fleets and fibre networks.
This ranking is an affirmation of GlobeCasts strength in its traditional business, while 2008 also saw a number of developments to reinforce its growing role as a content and media management company, including the acquisition of French software company NETIA, the recent upgrade of its London playout centre at Grays Inn Road and the addition of an entirely new playout suite in Singapore. These changes will enhance GlobeCasts range of services and its geographical reach through 2009.
