--------
Ofcom today set out proposals to provide clarity about the price of
calls to 0870 numbers and strengthen consumer protection on calls to
0871 numbers.

0870 numbers are used by many businesses and organisations for a wide
range of services including road traffic advice, customer services and
financial services. This consultation is part of Ofcom

Did I just hear you say that Ofcom is seriously considering having a
number range that can vary its call charge?

Communications providers already charge varying rates for calls.

The Competion Tribunals decision about the dispute over
termination charges appears to mean that Ofcom does not have
power to impose the solution it is going through the motions
of consulting about.

Characteristically, Ofcoms statement about this is wilfully
opaque.
