The UK's new communications regulator, Ofcom announced on Thursday that it has appointed a team of leading legal professionals to advise it on all aspects of competition law, regulatory law, and general legal activities.
Ofcom has been established under the auspices of the Communications Act 2003, and will assume its powers on December 29, 2003.
In addition to fulfilling additional duties laid out in the new Communications Act, the independent body will inherit the duties of the five current communications regulators, namely: the Broadcasting Standards Commission, the Independent Television Commission, Oftel, the Radio Authority, and the Radiocommunications Agency.
In a statement, Ofcom revealed that the three senior legal professionals appointed to head the team are information technology contract expert, Peter Susman QC, current head of Denton Wilde Sapte's EC and UK Competition Law department, Polly Weitzman, and former HMV company secretary and general counsel, Graham Howell.
Mr Susman will be acting as the regulator's independent Standing Counsel, Ms Weitzman as Head of Profession within Ofcom (when she joins the body in 2004), and Mr Howell as Secretary to the Corporation.
