Andrew Orlowski takes a look at Ofcom

The media regulator is standing in the way of a vibrant media sector. 

And yet... there's nothing worth watching on TV. There's a yawning absence of formal channels to tell us stuff we didn't know, or join the dots. This, concludes Ofcom, leaves our children, and those provincials who still point at aeroplanes (I paraphrase) - in grave peril. It couldn't quite bring itself to go all the way, and suggest that we're all in peril (or not) if this mythical thing called Public Service Broadcasting disappears.

Ofcom has no useful function save to maintain BBC's and BT's dominate position and hamstring them with regulations so they cannot abuse their dominance - the worst of both worlds for the consumer.
