E-newsletter from Singapore Technologies Telemedia
January 2004 Issue No.1



Welcome to Telemedia World a new quarterly e-Newsletter featuring regular updates from the Singapore Technologies Telemedia group.

Since our establishment in 1994, ST Telemedia has focused on continuous innovation and growth. Capitalising on regional and global market opportunities, we have extended our footprint throughout Asia, the Americas and Europe to strengthen our companies' ability to lead and compete.

On 9 December 2003, ST Telemedia completed our investment in Global Crossing, resulting in a new addition in the ST Telemedia group. Leveraging on the experience, talents, and resources of both companies the new Global Crossing is poised to cement its place as a pivotal player and a model in the telecommunications industry.

I would like to extend a warm appreciation to our customers, partners, subsidiary companies and employees for your support over the years. Because of your contributions, we have built a strong foundation enabling the ST Telemedia group to grow from strength to strength.

Thus far, the journey has been challenging and exciting. And I am confident that we will continue to scale new heights together as ST Telemedia grows our position as a leading wireless and global IP communications company.
