FLORHAM PARK, New Jersey, February 24 /PRNewswire/ --

Global Crossing (Nasdaq: GLBC), a leading global IP solutions provider,
today announced its intent to provide content delivery network (CDN) services
by forming relationships with several vendors to give its enterprise
customers the flexibility to use the appropriate technology required to meet
their specific content needs.

This marks Global Crossing's entry into the CDN market and will enable
the company to offer customers industry-leading solutions for the delivery of
rich media content and enterprise applications. A CDN enables users to watch
a high-definition movie, make an online purchase, listen to music, play a
video game, or download a software package.

"We're combining the advantages of our industry-leading Global IP
backbone with market-leading CDN services to simplify content delivery
through an end-to-end solution," said Dave Carey, Global Crossing's chief
marketing officer. "This strategy will enhance the significant cost and
performance benefits of our IP data offerings and build upon our commitment
to provide a full suite of services that allow multi-national corporations to
focus on their core businesses."

Jointly providing CDN services with multiple vendors gives customers one
point of contact for their network and content delivery needs, and enables
Global Crossing and its partners to drive best-in-class solutions into the
marketplace. Together with its CDN partners, Global Crossing will offer
customers the ability to create a high-quality experience for their end users
without service interruption.

This approach promises to improve customer satisfaction and allows Global
Crossing to help its customers select the right CDN solution for the
appropriate business requirement. Businesses often employ multiple CDNs to
take advantage of best-in-class services for specific requirements.

"Global Crossing's multi-CDN partner approach is a strong entry into the
CDN market, as it will allow for a diverse array of potential customers to
select what content delivery option is most appropriate for them, dependent
on price, availability of services, and type of content delivered," stated
David Vorhaus, Senior Analyst at The Yankee Group. "Given the breadth of
Global Crossing's global network and robust suite of IP and transport
solutions, offering a CDN solution is complementary to its core services."
