Is Ofcom on the way out?
Mar 16^th, 2005 at 12:25am

From The Observer Sun 13 March 05

"A Cabinet row is already simmering over separate plans for a bonfire of government quangos, due to be published with the budget. A review drawn up by Philip Hampton, chair of the Sainsbury supermarket group, is expected to argue for a wave of mergers among watchdogs to free businesses from excessive red tape, with the broadcasting watchdog Ofcom among those in the firing line."

What on earth can they merge it with.

Ofcom was only formed in January last year due to a merger of OFTEL, The Radio Authority, the ITC and a few others. If anything OFCOM is doing such a bad job that it makes the case for breaking it back up again into a number of separate specialist regulators.
