1.1 Introduction
This is the second in a series of annual Communications Market reports by Ofcom (the Office of Communications). The report highlights developments across the electronic communications sector in the UK, covering television, radio and telecommunications, for the calendar year 2004 and the start of 2005.
It is supplemented by quarterly updates, in October, January and August each year, which provide the latest available data on each sector, including:
- industry size, structure and financing
- availability, penetration and use of products
- consumer attitudes and behaviour
The Communications Market supports Ofcom’s objective to provide best in class research to which stakeholders have regular access. It also provides the market context for Ofcom’s reviews of Radio, Public Service Broadcasting and Telecoms.
This report fulfils Ofcom’s requirement to produce an annual factual and statistical report under Section 358 of The Communications Act 2003.
The information set out in this report does not represent any proposal or conclusion by Ofcom in respect of the current or future definition of markets and/or the assessment of significant market power for the purposes of the Communications Act 2003, the Competition Act 1998 or other relevant legislation.
