UK: CA Wants Single Regulatory Body

A new policy report from the UK Consumers’ Association – Communications Regulation; making the right connections – proposes a rationalisation of the current regulatory framework for the communications industry as a whole in the UK. It calls for a single regulator that would merge the functions of the ITC, Oftel, the Radio Authority and (possibly) the Radiocommunications Agency. It also calls for a wide public debate about content regulation and its control structure.
