Press Release
This year’s Asia Communication Awards have drawn to a close in Singapore with 16 of the leading operators and vendors in the Asia-Pacific region picking up trophies that reflect the innovation and determination they have shown in driving the telecoms industry forwards.
There were 19 categories in total, meaning that a couple of players picked up multiple prizes. The big winners this year were Singtel, which won three awards, and KT Corp with two.
