The procurement and financing of the communications hubs (which allow information to be sent to and from the network) will be performed by ASML. Accordingly, the ABPL group is expected to benefit from the substantial majority, but not all, of the smart metering contract revenue through charges levied to ASML.

    Local DAB Multiplex Change Request: Mid & West Wales

    Local DAB Multiplex Change Request: Mid & West Wales Consultation on extending the Mid & West Wales licensed area Consultation Publication date: 30 January 2017 Closing Date for Responses: 28 February 2017 Local DAB Multiplex Change Request About this document This document seeks views on a request to change the area to be served by the Mid & West Wales local radio multiplex service. A radio multiplex service is the means by which DAB digital radio stations are broadcast. Ofcom is required to consult before deciding whether to agree to such a request. This document is the consultation, and includes questions to help respondents frame their responses. The proposed area change is entirely administrative, in that it would not affect the services that currently can be received in the Mid & West Wales area nor the coverage of those services. The closing-date for responses to this consultation is 28 February 2017. Local DAB Multiplex Change Request Contents Section Page 1 Executive summary 1 2 Details and background information 2 Page Annex 1 Responding to this consultation 5 2 Ofcom’s consultation principles 7 3 Consultation questions 9 4 Application from MuxCo Wales 10 Local DAB Multiplex Change Request Section 1 1 Executive summary Legislation permits a local radio multiplex operator to apply to Ofcom to extend the area served under its licence. Ofcom has received an application from MuxCo Wales Limited regarding its Mid & West Wales multiplex.

    DTT) Multiplex Licences Expiring in 2022 and 2026

    Consultation on the renewal of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) multiplex licences expiring in 2022 and 2026 18 December 2020 Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Foreword By the Rt Hon. John Whittingdale OBE MP, Minister of State for Media and Data UK television audiences are fortunate to enjoy an incredibly broad range of programming and to possess a variety of methods by which to watch it. The Digital Terrestrial Television platform, better known as Freeview, is one of the most popular methods of accessing TV content in the UK. Since its launch in 1998 it has become one of the biggest and best-loved platforms, transmitting the nation’s favourite programmes to 18 million homes across the country. Freeview is also a vital part of the public service broadcasting (PSB) system, ensuring that PSB content is free at the point of use and widely accessible, with nearly 99% coverage across the UK. Public service broadcasting plays an important role in the economic, cultural and democratic life of our country; keeping people informed, educated and entertained. The value of PSB - and the Freeview platform that continues to underpin it - has been particularly evident during the Covid-19 pandemic, as an important source of news, in countering misinformation, and in bringing the nation together through shared moments. PSB and commercial content is provided on the Freeview platform through separate digital networks known as multiplexes, of which there are six nationally. Two of the national multiplex licences - Multiplex 2 and Multiplex A - are expiring in 2022. To renew these licences, the government is required to make secondary legislation.

  • Review of the Automatic Compensation Scheme

    Review of the Automatic Compensation Scheme

    Improving compensation for landline and broadband customers Review of the automatic compensation scheme Improving compensation for landline and broadband customers – Welsh overview Publication Date: 21 August 2020 Contents Section 1. Overview 1 2. Background to the scheme and improving service quality 3 3. Review of the automatic compensation scheme 6 4. Conclusions and next steps 17 Improving compensation for landline and broadband customers 1. Overview Access to high quality, reliable communications services is essential in today’s connected society, particularly as people adapt the way they live, work and communicate in the wake of Covid-19. But things can go wrong, which may affect people’s ability to get online and make calls. Making sure problems are resolved quickly and customers are compensated fairly where appropriate is an essential part of our Fairness for Customers work. In recent years, Ofcom has been implementing a strategy to drive service quality improvements by: (i) publishing service quality performance data; (ii) introducing tougher minimum quality of service standards for Openreach; and (iii) introducing automatic compensation for customers when things go wrong. This has led to significant improvements in the quality of broadband and landline services. Ofcom launched the telecoms industry’s first ever automatic compensation scheme (the scheme) for broadband and landline customers in April 2019. Under the scheme, customers receive compensation from their provider, without having to ask for it, for delayed repairs or provisions, and missed appointments. The scheme is voluntary, with the UK’s largest broadband and landline providers signed up. This report sets out our review of the first year of the scheme.

Tindle MuxCo Channel Islands 1. Tindle MuxCo Channel Islands Ltd (‘TMCI’) was created to establish local DAB digital radio in the Channel Islands, with shareholders who have significant analogue and digital radio experience through broadcasting and multiplex ownership – Tindle CI Broadcasting Ltd and Folder Media Ltd. 2. Tindle CI Broadcasting operates the popular and successful local heritage commercial services in the Channel Islands – Channel 103 and Island FM – which consistently report the highest percentage reach figures in the British Isles, whilst Folder Media has considerable experience as a multiplex operator and content producer, having established the Now Digital and MuxCo networks, and currently managing the MuxCo network as well as multiplexes owned by Wireless Group and Bauer Media. 3. Tindle CI Broadcasting and Folder Media have been developing plans to bring DAB to the Channel Islands since early 2018, initially undertaking research of radio listening habits and digital take-up across the islands, discussing opportunities with Ofcom, and then formally announcing its intention to apply in November 2018. 4. Our ethos is that digital radio should be available in a cost and operationally efficient manner to enable as many organisations as possible to broadcast. TMCI will offer both DAB and DAB+. We believe this is the best way to encourage more stations to join the platform and provide a compelling proposition for digital radio listeners.
