Media regulator Ofcom has launched a major inquiry into premium rate TV phone-ins. 

Richard Ayre, non-executive member of Ofcom’s content board and former BBC News chief, will lead the inquiry and hopes to report by early summer. 

Broadcasters, producers and network operators are expected to be questioned in an attempt to establish why the sector is so vulnerable to breaches. Ayre and his team will also recommend new measures to protect consumers.

Ah well it will be good to see some sort of report, some sort of recommendations…

But you know, it’s ultimately quite easy, isn’t it?

The executive summary will be: ICSTIS regulations haven’t been uniformly upheld. They should be. Next.

😉

Perhaps I’m summarising too much…
