Ofcom: Consultation Crazy Or Consultation Clever ?
May 23rd, 2006 at 10:09pm
 
Whilst ploughing through the numbering consultation I began to wonder about Ofcom and all these consultations.  Originally I had thought how ill coordinated it seemed to run the NTS consultation before and separately from the Numbering consultation.  Despite our criticisms Ofcom are surely well aware of what they're doing...

I'm now beginning to wonder if this was a deliberate and calculated move by Ofcom!  Perhaps the intention was to almost mop up the widespread anti-0870 feeling before conducting the "real work" of the numbering review.

Its like Ofcom were thinking "We'll let them have their say, suggest a proposal which sounds good but which can easily be side stepped, and then hope they'll shut up!"  Ofcom appear to have pacified those who oppose NGNs to the extent that there are a disappointing number of responses to the numbering consultation so far...

I know this isn't constructive in any way and is just another conspiracy theory but what do others think?

I think you subscribe to conspiracy rather than c***k-up (edited to preserve the sensibilities of our US readers) and credit civil servants with more deviousness than is warranted.

On the other hand, the puppet masters or 'special advisors'. Refer to Private Eye for details

I used to think that, Farci, but not anymore and I don't think I've giving Ofcom too much credit for it either !

Where Ofcom and Messrs Carter and Currie are concerned there is no cockup involved.

The relentless removal of practically all controls on telecoms and broadcasting companies is a quite deliberately cynical and calculated policy designed to further the interests of their own careers and the profitability of the telecoms and broadcasting companies.
