BR Telecommunications Ltd, employing nearly 3,000 staff, (the largest, private, non-military telecommunications network in the country) was restructured into four businesses and its assets sold in December 1995 to Racal Network Services Ltd for £133 million. Racal Network Services and Racal British Rail Telecommunications were then reorganised to form Racal Telecom. In 1999 Racal Telecom was sold for £1bn to a two year old US operator Global Crossing.
