[Talk-GB] Ofcom consultation - Royal Mail - PAF

[Peter Wells]

Hello everyone,

long time reader, first time poster.

I know that address data, and the various licensing and business models
around it, are a long-standing bugbear for parts of the OSM community. One
of those licensing and business models is Royal Mail because of their role
on PAF.

Ofcom, who regulate Royal Mail's role on PAF, are currently consulting on
their plan of work for 2021/22. This provides an opportunity for them to
look at this part of the address puzzle, but they need to know that this is
important to people.

The Centre for Public Data, which is run by Anna Powell-Smith
aka @darkgreener on twitter, has just published a short briefing on the
consultation, how they plan to respond, and tips to make it easier for
others to respond if you want to. It's here:

Best,
Peter
