Teleglobe Acquisition Completed, Relaunch Expected

All pending legal and regulatory issues were resolved in the acquisition of Teleglobe by a group of private investors. Teleglobe International is being re-launched as a provider of international voice, wireless roaming, data and Internet services. The company owns and operates an extensive global telecommunications network built over a combination of wavelength IRUs, ownership or participation in 90 fiber optic submarine cable systems, satellite capacity, and leased transmission capacity.

  • In May, Teleglobe filed bankruptcy papers with the Ontario Superior Court.


  • On April 24, BCE (Bell Canada Enterprises), Canada's largest communications company, announced that it would cease long-term funding of Teleglobe.
