Seems the public responses are 'drying up'.
The promised campaign emails from Daniel (& martin MSE!!) seem to evapourated, what can now be done?
This is all very disappointing from the 'powers that be' on site.

There were 468 submissions to the 0870 debate on the Ofcom website today at 4pm, an increase of 46 (I don't think the new ones were there on Friday).

(And here's a reminder of where you can read the comments: http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/condocs/nts_forward/responses/)

These are the new ones added today.

There were 41 new comments today but mysteriously, as far as I can see, six were dropped. (My apologies if I've missed these somehow.)

This one is interesting. This is indicative of just how precious the revenue share really is and demonstrates what many of us have thought for a long time.

I think we should submit an FOI request asking whether any of the people who have responded to the consultation are also employees of Ofcom.  The alternative would be to ask for a list of all their employees but I am sure they will refuse to release that on confidentiality grounds.

Obviously this request needs to be submitted after the consultation has closed.

I'm also concerned about a large number of the named ones that just say Yes, Yes, Yes and just send back the questionnaire form.  I suppose a call to the Ofcom switchboard to be asked to be put through to some of those people could be illuminating.

By the way beginner you're not available for this forum at Ofcom in London tomorrow afternoon between 3pm and 5pm are you?

You seem to have very sensible views and we still have two places out of five left to take up at the forum.

There were 594 submissions to the 0870 debate on the Ofcom website today (Nov 23) at 6pm, an increase of 91 since 6pm on Nov 22.

Has anyone checked how many of these there are? It would be interesting to know. I don't think I can check on this while keeping track of new submissions but maybe someone else would like to have a look if they can spare the time.
