Global Crossing Delivers 26 Global EtherExtend(SM) Flex Access Service
Locations to Enterprise Customers

FLORHAM PARK, N.J., June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global Crossing (Nasdaq:
GLBC), a leading global IP solutions provider, today announced that 26
EtherExtend(SM) Flex Service locations now are "service-ready." The company
recently added Houston, Sunnyvale, Singapore and Frankfurt. The service is
available in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region and will be
available in more than 70 points of presence in these same regions, plus Latin
America, by the end of 2009.

Other sites where the service is available are Hong Kong in Asia; Amsterdam,
London, Milan and Paris in Europe; Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver,
Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Miami, Minneapolis, New York,
Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. in the
United States, and Toronto, Canada.

"By delivering EtherExtend Flex to our customers, we're making good on our
commitment to continually expand our global portfolios of Access and Ethernet
Services for all markets," said Dave Carey, Global Crossing's chief marketing
officer.

"The ongoing roll-out of EtherExtend Flex to 70 locations around the world
confirms Global Crossing as a global Ethernet service provider," stated David
Hold, senior analyst at Current Analysis. "EtherExtend Flex offers enterprises
a cost-effective access alternative for Internet and IP VPN services --
including Global Crossing's suite of IP services -- employing rate limiting
functionality on Ethernet virtual circuits to carve out just the amount of
bandwidth a customer needs."

According to Nemertes' Spring 2009 benchmark research, 39 percent of
enterprises look to Ethernet as a local loop for access to MPLS-based
services.

The company introduced Global Crossing EtherExtend Flex Service in January to
provide its customers with cost-effective and flexible Ethernet access to
IP-based services. EtherExtend Flex lowers a user's cost of access and
matches the access Level of Service to the application's needs. It provides a
last-mile Ethernet connection to Global Crossing's end-user customer via
logical connections over a physical Network-to-Network Interface with the
access provider, rather than forwarding the customer's traffic over a fixed
physical connection to Global Crossing.

EtherExtend Flex can be paired with Global Crossing IP VPN or Dedicated
Internet Access/IP Transit services, whether managed or unmanaged. The
service also can support Collaboration, Voice over Internet Protocol and other
applications that utilize these transport services.
