Worldwide communication system subsequently ignoring Times (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

net

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'worldwide communication system' is the definition.
'net' can be an answer for 'system' (net is a kind of system). I'm not certain of the 'worldwide communication' bit.

'subsequently ignoring times' is the wordplay.
'subsequently' becomes 'next' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ignoring' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'times' becomes 'x' (x resembles the multiplication or times sign).
'next' with 'x' taken out is 'NET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for net that I've seen before include "Clear profit or gain" , "Mesh or web" , "Open-meshed fabric" , "Butterfly trap" , "After taxes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
