On October 16, WTA (World Teleport Association) will close the application process for its 2009 Top Operators rankings, the world's only yearly rankings of teleport operating companies by revenue and growth rate.  Large companies and small, with revenues ranging from over US$1 billion to under $2 million, have achieved a Top Operator ranking in past years.  From the data provided by applicants, WTA will publish rankings of:

• The Global Top Twenty — based on revenue from all sources and including all operators: from uplinkers to satellite carriers, fiber network operators to systems integrators, technology providers to specialized satcom service providers
• The Independent Top Twenty — based on revenue from all sources but excluding companies whose primary business is satellite fleet operations or terrestrial network services
 
• The Fast Twenty — based on year-over-year revenue growth in their most recent complete fiscal years, and including all operators
