One EU Appeal Desk Took Over 24,000 Cases. The Files Didn't All Arrive.

Ofcom Put the Payers on the Wall. The Bills Stayed in Envelopes
Britain's online-safety regulator has published its first fee-paying roster and a single rate for everyone on it. The invoice amounts remain between Ofcom and the firms. Public arithmetic now has a private denominator.
CASE FILE
Ofcom Read the AI Answer. Then It Opened the Link Drawer
The regulator tested what search APIs wrote and what they retrieved. Those are two different records. One can look tidy while the other deserves its own audit.

Ofcom Wants Two Harms on the Priority List. The Minister Has the Pen
Body shaming and content that glorifies despair sit in a legal category that depends on a platform's own risk assessment. Ofcom wants to move both into the statute's priority list; a minister must make the move.
CASE FILE
Ofcom Opened Two Cases. The Nameplates Are Blank
The UK regulator has moved from broad supervision to formal inquiries into two adult services. It has made the legal questions public while keeping both providers unnamed.
CASE FILE
Ofcom's Complaints Fell. Pay-TV Did All the Lifting

CASE FILE
The ITU Has a Project. RCC Wants to Inspect the Expert Checklist
A new RCC proposal would put the criteria for selecting ITU project experts before the Council, while giving particular weight to local and regional people who already lead work inside the Union.
CASE FILE
A Country's Data Is Missing. RCC Wants the ITU to Check the UN Folder
RCC proposes a sharper source rule for the ICT Development Index: use Member State data first, UN-system data when it is absent, and observations from the same period, while the existing consent rule for below-threshold coverage remains.
CASE FILE
ITU Can Collect AI Scam Cases. RCC Wants Someone to Pay for the Filing Cabinet
RCC proposes a member-fed repository of AI-related cyber threats and countermeasures under Resolution 130, with its upkeep charged to the ITU standardization bureau's regular budget.
CASE FILE
The Conference Ends. RCC Wants the Working-Group Keys Handed Over
A proposed change to ITU Decision 11 would have the Council preferably settle its working groups and leaders at the extraordinary session after a plenipotentiary, then give their meetings a clearer yearly rhythm.
CASE FILE
Six Regional Rooms, One Clock: RCC Wants the ITU’s Prep Work on Schedule
A proposed update to ITU Resolution 58 would gather regional chairs in the final six months before a plenipotentiary, coach delegates on conference procedure and send feedback to Council the following year.
CASE FILE
No Coast, Two Transit Desks: RCC Wants the ITU to Notice the Second Border
A proposed revision to ITU Resolution 30 singles out countries whose international connections depend on transit through two or more states, then asks them and their neighbours to build digital corridors together.
CASE FILE
A Seat at the Standards Table Is Nice. RCC Wants Help Holding the Pen.
An ITU proposal would give regional competence centres a job that workshops rarely promise: help turn a developing country’s technical priorities into contributions before the rulebook is written.
CASE FILE
The Chair Wants Another Term. RCC Wants the Attendance Sheet.
An RCC draft would put a half-meetings test in the ITU’s qualifications for returning study-group and advisory-group leaders. It remains a judgement call, not a trapdoor.
CASE FILE
RCC Wants Anti-Fraud Homework in the ITU’s Cyber Rule
One proposal would leave Resolution 174 untouched. Another would ask governments and ICT actors to teach safer use and talk plainly about fraud.
CASE FILE
The Post Office Has a Digital Parcel. Who at the ITU Signs for It?
A proposal from RCC member states would put postal cooperation on the desks of both ITU standards and development officials—and ask both sides to report back.
CASE FILE
At the ITU, a Global Phone Code May Soon Fail the Uniform Test
RCC member states want government, police and military use added to the definition of E.164 numbering misuse. Their proposed sentence would change the label before it changes the machinery.
CASE FILE
One Satellite, Several Filing Desks. Who Answers the Phone?
A new ITU proposal would connect national filings for the same satellite system to one named administration. The tricky part starts when the owner, operator or paperwork changes.
