Ofcom today published a consultation Mobile citizens, mobile consumers
which considers whether the mobile sector delivers on the needs of UK
citizens and consumers and how regulation should adapt to reflect market
and technological change. The document looks at three main areas:
customer service, ensuring consumers are getting the best choice and
value for money, whilst being protected from inappropriate practices;
mobile as part of the broader communications market; and the future of
industry regulation, including considering how mobile termination rates
should be set beyond 2011.

It includes an interactive executive summary which can be found at:
