LR Fires Up Leading Lights Awards

NEW YORK -- Light Reading today announced it has launched a new annual industry awards program, the Leading Lights, in which top public and private companies and their executives will be recognized for their outstanding achievements in the telecommunications industry.

This is Light Reading's first awards program since the company's inception in February 2000. The awards categories and judging criteria have been developed based on nearly five years of experience analyzing telecommunications, plus extensive feedback from both leading financial analysts and service providers.

The Leading Lights program will focus on next-generation telecom technology AND the business case for it. It will recognize the top executives at leading public and private companies that have successfully led their employees through the dog days of the worst telecom recession in history, as well as the best products and the hottest public and private companies.

Better yet -- it is completely free to enter the contest. The Web pages and entry form are here. But don't drag your feet, because the deadline for entries is November 1.
