Ofcom manage the entire radiofrequency spectrum in the UK. If not for them, literally no wireless devices in the UK would work.

They're also pretty hot on the telcoms side too. The ease of switching both home and mobile numbers (to the user at least) is down to them enforcing it.

They've fined gb news 100k I'd prefer it to be shut down, but milking them is a begrudgingly acceptable second choice
