The Digital Economy Act: the gift that keeps on giving (5 MAY 2017)
"The Digital Economy Bill has finished its passage through Parliament and is finally law, but what does it mean for your rights in the digital age?
The Digital Economy Act 2017 had a long and winding journey to becoming legislation, and we’ve been there every step of the way to ensure consumers get the most out of this new law.
The Act is wide-ranging, tackling issues of switching telecoms provider, nuisance calls, access to superfast broadband, and compensation for consumers. So what changes will you see?"
