Company Ranks Highest Among Market Leaders in Two Categories of 2010 Nemertes PilotHouse Awards

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Business has been recognized as the Top Provider among Market Leaders for multiprotocol label switching and Carrier Ethernet services, with two 2010 Nemertes PilotHouse Awards. This is the second time Verizon Business has received top honors for Market Leaders in both of these categories since the awards program debuted in 2008.

As more multinational companies seek to adopt hybrid global network solutions featuring both multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) and Ethernet, these latest awards highlight the company's continued industry leadership and commitment to delivering proven and innovative communications solutions for customers worldwide.

"This recognition is particularly meaningful because the rankings are based 100 percent on the views and experiences of actual users, making PilotHouse a truly unique industry award," said Anthony Recine, vice president of networking and communications solutions for Verizon Business. "As businesses and government agencies continue to embrace advanced communications services such as carrier Ethernet and MPLS, they know that they can count on Verizon Business to support their global business ecosystem."

The Nemertes PilotHouse Awards are well-respected in the industry because market leaders and challengers are selected by more than 2,000 actual users who rate their service providers based on technology, customer service and value.
