Description
The Bill will give effect to the Government's proposals for the reform of the regulatory framework for the communications sector (as set out in the White Paper - "A New Future for Communications"; Cm 5010). The main provisions are: the transfer of regulatory functions to a new body, the Office of Communications (OFCOM); the replacement of the current system of licensing telecommunications systems; the power to develop a new mechanism to enable spectrum to be traded; the development of the current system for regulating broadcasting - both to rationalise the regulation of public service broadcasters and accommodate the switchover to digital broadcasting; the establishment of a consumer panel to advise OFCOM; the establishment of a content board to advise OFCOM in relation to the content of anything broadcast. In February 2002 the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers adopted four directives on a common regulatory framework for electronic communications. Provisions in this Bill implement these regulations in the UK.
