Dawson further reinforces his credentials with over five years of management experience within the mobile carrier space, having held positions at both Orange (EE) and Vodafone. He also served on the board of AIMM alongside Toby Padgham for over six years (from 2016 to 2022).

“I’m thrilled to join MCP Insight,” said Dawson. “We have a long history together, and after years working at various other points in the value chain, it feels like the perfect time to join a company dedicated to helping the industry combat fraud and build sustainable revenue growth through premium services and direct carrier billing.”

Ofcom logoOn the 21st November Ofcom released their much anticipated Consultation which can be found below for reference

OFCOM CONSULTATION

This consultation sets out Ofcom’s proposals in effect to transfer the regulatory functions of the PSA to Ofcom, including associated proposed changes to the regulation of controlled PRS (CPRS). Under these proposals, they intend to withdraw their approval for Code 15 and replace it with their own set of rules in an order that they propose to make under section 122 of the Act (draft PRS Order). When the PRS Order comes into force, Ofcom will assume day-to-day responsibility as regulator and enforcer of PRS regulation.

We are running a series of Consultation Workshops for our members, so they can provide feedback and thoughts on this paper before the deadline on the 23rd January. aimm will be submitting a response on behalf of our membership based on the feedback from these Workshops.
