Communications regulation is sexy again!

Folks, the news is coming in fast and furious today:

* James Purnell MP is to take up the DCMS post. Jowell will retain a cabinet-level position overseeing the Olympics.

* DTI has morphed into something called The Department for Business, Entreprise and Regulatory Reform (DBERR) and will be headed by John Hutton MP.

* Gordon Brown has asked the Better Regulation Commission to report by the end of July on how its risk-based approach to regulation can be put into action.

* Tom Loosemore will leave the BBC to head Ofcom’s Public Service Publisher (PSP) project. This PSP thing is here to stay, folks!

Ofcom, a regulator of all the talents…
