The World Communication Awards (WCA)[1] were established in 1999 to recognise excellence amongst global telecom operators. The 2011 awards were presented in London on 7 November at the London Hilton on Park Lane and typically draws an audience of more than 500 senior executives from the telecommunications industry.
Previous winners and finalists[2] have come from every continent, and have included TeliaSonera International Carrier, Bharti Airtel, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, BT Group, BT Wholesale, Orange and on a personal level EU Commissioner Viviane Reding.
The World Communication Awards are organised by Total Telecom and their owners Terrapinn. It celebrated its 10th year in 2008 with fifteen categories being presented, and with the chairman of the judges being David Molony, former editor-in-chief of Total Telecom[3] and now an analyst at consultants Ovum.
