Ofcom To Stop Revenue Sharing On 03 Numbers.

[BJ]

For those who benefit from revenue sharing on 03 some bad news i am afraid.

"We have recently observed the sharing of revenues from wholesale 03 call charges with callers. We consider that this conduct could harm the interests of consumers and citizens. We explain our proposal to address this problem by modifying the restrictions on the use of 03 numbers to make clear that the direct or indirect sharing of revenues with end-users or callers is not permitted on the 03 number range."

I always considered this to be inevitable, I'm surprised it took them so long!

Is this finalised. I thought it was only in the consultation stage and a decision due after September, although most certainly likely it will go ahead.
