In an increasingly global economy, international telecommunications services is the fastest growing and most profitable segment of the rapidly expanding long distance telecommunications market. Many countries around the world have or are implementing plans to deregulate their telecommunications markets. As a result, new business opportunities are emerging that are comparable to early deregulation in the U. S. market, which propelled companies like MCI and Sprint into multibillion dollar businesses. PRIMUS's management team has a unique blend of knowledge and exprience in international telecommunications required to grow a successful global telecommunications company.
