''Oftel has been superseded as the British telecommunications regulator by Ofcom (the Office of Communications).'' ---- The Office of Telecommunications (Oftel) (''the telecommunications regulator'') was a department in the United Kingdom government, under civil service control, charged with promoting competition and maintaining the interests of consumers in the UK telecommunications market. It was set up under the Telecommunications Act 1984 after privatisation of the nationalised operator BT. Oftel was accused by its critics of having been "captured" by BT, and of giving the dominant operator too much freedom to leverage its monopoly status in fixed line telephony into other markets such as ADSL. On 28 December 2003 the duties of Oftel were inherited by Ofcom, which is the result of a consolidation of the British telecommunication and broadcasting regulators. Freeserve alleged Oftel overlooked anti-competitive practices in BT's marketing of ADSL products. ==See also== *Bird & Bird *Ofcom - Oftel's replacement organisation. *UK Telephone area (STD) codes *UK topics 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oftel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
