Ofcom is the regulator for the communications services that we use and rely on each day.

We make sure:

• people are able to use communications services, including broadband;

• a range of companies provide quality television and radio programmes that appeal to diverse audiences;

• viewers and listeners are protected from harmful or offensive material on TV, radio and on-demand;

• people are protected from unfair treatment in programmes, and don’t have their privacy invaded;

• the universal postal service covers all UK addresses six days a week, with standard pricing; and

• the radio spectrum is used in the most effective way.
