Per Dahlberg, chairman of the judging panel, said the awards recognize achievement and leadership in Asian telecommunications, with an emphasis on innovation and financial performance.
“The telecom industry in Asia is facing considerable challenges. With a slowdown in revenue growth and tighter margins, operators have to improve efficiency and control costs within their businesses while creating innovative, non-price advantages over the competition.
“Tonight’s winners were chosen because they’ve demonstrated the ability to balance effective management with creating new opportunities for themselves and to execute on it. I congratulate the winners of this year’s awards. I also thank the members of the judging panel for their hard work and their insights into Asian telecom markets,” Dahlberg said.
