Mumbai – December 4th 2013 – Tata Communications, a leading provider of A New World of Communications™, has won the Best Wholesale Carrier Award at the 2013 World Communications Awards – held in London last night. The awards, now in its 15th year, recognises the organisations responsible for the innovations that are shaping the industry today and in the future.
