In order to provide our sector studies we need a common economic baseline, covering macroeconomic data such as gross domestic product (GDP) growth, changes in life expectancy and oil prices. We undertook macroeconomic modelling to provide a top down view of wider economic developments, which underlie the trends predicted in the sectoral studies.

Ofcom's technical research programme enables us to keep up to date with technologies and trends, so that we can be in the best possible position to execute our regulatory duties. We do not conduct research in-house but make use of external resources, such as private commercial organisations, university departments and government funded research institutions. These reports present the findings of technical work conducted on Ofcom’s behalf. The opinions and conclusions stated within these reports are those of the organisations who conducted the research and may not reflect the view of Ofcom or imply any future policy work in related areas.
