UK premium phone regulator ICSTIS gets a new name

The UK premium rate regulator is getting a new name and as Scott says on the OFCOMWATCH website I’m sure we’ve been waiting with baited breath for the new name for ICSTIS, in fact come October it’s to be called Phonepay Plus which it then seems will be known by the commercial sounding as P3, as the Register notes this might not be the best name saying ..

"it sounds exactly like one of the crooked operators they're supposed to be policing"

ICSTIS of course are more positive and see the name change as helping as the name ICSTIS was presumably responsible for not being

"...helpful in terms of public awareness."

We’ll have to wait and see if the name change will herald anything more than orders to various printing companies

Let’s play a QUIZ

Now regulation has been troubling me of late..

Looking at ITV it appears that regulation should be a fairly straightforward matter – the regulator being the body who grants the licence OFCOM – if the company fails to meet the terms of their licence OFCOM can fine them or in the extreme take away their licence.
But for participation the matter is not so clear cut, ITV Play uses premium rate calls so perhaps the regulator is ICSTIS?

Oh and some people say that the ITV Play games are actually a form of gambling so is it the gambling commission?
So is

a) OFCOM,
b) ICSTIS
or

c) The Gambling Commission ?
