Ofcom FOIA request reply after only 8 days.
We have had a reply to our first Freedom of Information Act 2000 request to Ofcom, for a copy of the Mobile Phone Location Based Services Code of Practice, after only 8 working days.
Ofcom deny participating in drawing up this Code of Practice. Why was Ofcom, the Mobile Phone Industry regulator not involved in even any discussions about a Mobile Phone Industry Code of Practice covering such a sensitive and controversial issues like the privacy and safety of children.
We have been pointed to what seems to be a .pdf copy of this Code of Practice, however, we are not sure that this version was intended for publication, as it is not on the official website of any of the organisations involved in drawing it up.
