Ofcom Plans for Ofcom

Consultation on Ofcoms Annual Plan for 2013-14 sneaked out on Thursday when it wont get noticed beneath all the Christmas stuff.

Responses should be submitted by 22 Feb.
http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/consult...n-2013-14/

Key Summary points are:
1.4 (Ofcom) will work for consumers and citizens by promoting ... informed choice. ... will provide proportionate protection for consumers and help maintain audiences' confidence in broadcast content ...
To achieve these aims, we will be consultative, transparent and proportionate. We will be informed through high quality research and information ...

1.5 ... Ofcom will operate with a bias against intervention, but with a willingness to intervene firmly, promptly and effectively where required;
Ofcom will strive to ensure that its interventions will be evidence-based, proportionate, consistent, accountable and transparent in both deliberation and outcome; and
Ofcom will always seek the least intrusive regulatory mechanisms to achieve its policy objectives ....

1.6 Strategic purposes ...
Protect consumers from harm ...
Maintain audience confidence in broadcast content ...

Our proposed priorities for 2013/14
1.14 Target licensing and enforcement to ensure effective protection for audiences ...
Develop approaches to future content regulation

The full document includes these:
2.52 The rise in the number of producers and distribution models also presents challenges to the audience protection and assurance model; especially those challenges presented by operators based in overseas locations with different local protection regimes.

3.42 Provide continued protection to audiences through effective delivery of the Broadcasting Code and a strategic review of the way we license and regulate broadcasting services, with a particular focus on protecting children and on restricting content that poses the greatest risk of harm to audiences.

3.71 ... evolving internet architecture and governance models ...

4.45 Despite the evolving nature of broadcasting and content services, there will be a need for continuing audience assurance on content standards on traditional services. In order to provide this ongoing assurance in an efficient and effective manner, we will undertake work in the next year to design and adopt new approaches to targeting enforcement activity.

proposed priorities and outcomes ...
Protect consumers from harm ... (mostly telecoms) ... Measurable improvements in levels of consumer harm caused by each issue

Maintain audience confidence in broadcast content ...
... Strategic Priority: Target licensing and enforcement to ensure continued protection for audiences
.... Interim Outcomes: Licences continue to be issued to suitable persons; compliance continues to be monitored effectively; interventions are tailored and based on potential risk of harm posed by specific content, services or sectors; and audiences are appropriately protected
.... Final Outomes: A protection and assurance framework that inspires high-levels of consumer confidence and provides high levels of protection from harm, with a particular focus on protecting children and on content that poses the greatest risk of harm to audiences
(page 41)

We regularly review regulation to examine whether it is still fit for purpose and to remove burdens that are no longer justified (page 67)
