Revised statement of policy on the persistent misuse of an electronic communications network or service | Ofcom

Ofcom is required under section 131 of the Communications Act to prepare a statement on the of its general policy with respect to its legal powers to deal with persistent misuse of an electronic communications network or electronic communications services. It last did this in 2006.

Ofcom held a consultation in Dec 2007 and is going to make a new statement later this year.

Since the last statement nuisance calls have dropped significantly, but BT still receives aorund 80,000 complaints a year - which is unacceptable.
