Ofcom Snapshot
The Office of Communications, better known as Ofcom, acts as the regulator of various broadcast and media industries in the UK, including television, radio, and telecommunication services. Born of the 2003 Communications Act, Ofcom replaced entities such as the Broadcasting Standards Commission (BSC), Independent Television Commission (ITC), and Office of Telecommunications (Oftel) among others. While not a government agency, Ofcom does report to Parliament on industry matters. The country's digital TV switchover (analog TV signals are scheduled to be phased out by 2012) is one of the most high-profile projects Ofcom is involved with. Ofcom is funded by industry regulatory fees and government grants.
