It's been revealed that
Oftels future 'combined' super-regulator replacement, Ofcom, will officially go live on 15th December 2003:
In a statement Ofcom's Chief Executive, Stephen Carter, had this to say:
"When Ofcom is fully formed our statutory responsibilities will include the importance of creating and promoting a dynamic communications market, underpinned by limited and effective intervention through a constructive and mutually respectful relationship with stakeholders.
Ofcom will also be a 'reach out' regulator that embraces consumer protection through the promotion of effective competition and choice, whilst being informed by modern citizenship."It remains to be seen how well Ofcom will cope with the issue of regulation and standards related to UK ISPs. More @
