It is the Parliamentary Committee for Culture Media and Sport. That is a less powerful body. But it remains an interesting coincidence. It is not the DCMS that has announced an inquiry.

The 'Hard Copy' media itself costs very little to produce, so there seems to be an extremely large mark up on the goods. Pharmaceutical companies are the only other sector that enjoys such huge mark ups on the price of the product to produce, but they have often spent Millions of Pounds and many years producing their product, not 12 - 18 months and only Tens of Thousands of Pounds. The main concern for most of us is also the fundamental 'Two fingered' salute to our Legal process that has gone on in both the lack of open debate of the issues, and the fundamentally wrong 'wash up' process, which should, in my own opinion, be made Illegal itself. It makes a mockery of our Houses of Parliament and our methods for Judicial reform.

I just hope the government don't continue to be arrogant and instead take a more realistic look at the obvious flaws of this act. A well deserved pat on the back goes out to TalkTalk for this one.
