Ofcom
The new unified regulator for media, telecommunications and radio communications. It became operational in December 2003 and replaces the five existing regulatory bodies: the Independent Television Commission, the Broadcasting Standards Commission, the Radio Authority, the Office of Telecommunications and the Radio Communications Agency. Ofcom will also have concurrent powers with the Office of Fair Trading across the whole of the communications sector, in relation to breaches of the Competition Act 1998 and market investigations under the Enterprise Act 2002.
