Ofcom
The Office of Communications, usually known as Ofcom, is the UK's communications regulator.
At the end of 2003 Ofcom inherited the duties that had previously been the responsibility of five bodies:
The inaugural chairman of Ofcom is David Currie, Dean of Cass Business School at City University and a life peer under the title Lord Currie of Marylebone. Its chief executive Stephen Carter was formerly a senior executive of J Walter Thompson UK and NTL.
The short form of the name is given as 'OFCOM (all capitals) in the Communications Act 2003, which established the Office of Communications. Ofcom itself uses the mixed case form seen here, which is also the more widespread in the media.
