Abstract
Regulation is as controversial today as ever before. Some call for a ´lighter touch´ while others demand stronger intervention to create ´Broadband Britain´. The author describes what regulators do and why, Oftel´s accountability, the role of the engineer within Oftel and the forthcoming changes that will create OFCOM, the Office for Communications, from five existing communications regulators
