News [New communications regulator] Ofcom takes the reins

"A new communications regulator, Ofcom, launched on Monday to act as watchdog for the digital age of broadcasting and telecommunications.

The new watchdog will be one giant organisation replacing all five, and it is hoped it will be less cumbersome than its predecessors. "
