My "101" response sent a week ago, but can’t find a list of respondents on the Ofcom web site. Does a list exist?

Send an email to matt.peacock@ofcom.org.uk complaining and he will get it sorted out as he is Communications Director and the web publication team report to him.

They never bother publishing any responses on a Consultation at Ofcom until after they have had complaints that Responses are not being published.

Its much less work for them to wait till the Consultation has closed and then publish them all at once but obviously this is much less helpful to the other respondents to the consultation.

The Responses to all three of these consultations have now been published.  We had to wait a while for the Premium Rate consultation responses to finally appear.

If I may say so somewhat immodestly I still think that I wrote by far the best response to the National Single Non-Emergency Number Consultation.  No one else even seems to have even thought about the problem of needing to call a Police force or council in another area or questioned why the council services listed as being callable on this service are more important than various other crisis management services run by local councils.  Also no one else has mentioned the failure to set up a Single National Non Emergency voip (computer to computer) address for contacting the Police.  It also seems little short of a disgrace that only one uk police force responded to this consultation whereas they have practically all responded to a Home Office consultation proposing the abolition and amalgamation of many existing uk Police forces.

Here are the Responses to these three consultations:-

National Single Non-Emergency Number

Conditions Regulating Premium Rate Services

Apart from NGM’s own splendid response, BT's own response to the consultation,

      National Single Non-Emergency Number    www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/condocs/snen/responses/  
      (See NGM’s post above)

is well worth a read, especially “Tariffing for Callers” paragraphs 16 to 24 and Annex A.

The response in an indication of BT’s thinking on other related matters.

Yes a pretty thoughtful and intelligent response from BT taking on board the problems of 101's prominence and identifiability if it was chargeable and also pointing out that for 101 to cost more than many customers pay for geographic 01/02 phone calls by the time it is introduced would be a major issue.

They don't however tackle the problem of calling from overseas or out of area and how one can get to the same call centre(s) without using 101.  Of course strictly speaking the consultation brief from the Home Office doesn't ask these questions but why not and where else has the Home Office indicated that it actually understands or comprehends those issues. Smiley

So yes a good response by BT but still not quite as comprehensive as my own. Wink
