I think there are big similarities but also differences between regulation and state control/planning

Ofcom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ofcom inherited the duties that had previously been the responsibility of five regulatory bodies:

  • the Broadcasting Standards Commission,
  • the Independent Television Commission,
  • the Office of Telecommunications (Oftel),
  • the Radio Authority, and
  • the Radiocommunications Agency.

Do you mean that Ofcom had remit over issues not regulated by those five bodies?
