Go Viv! I tell ya, there must be a few folk in Vodafone Towers and France Telecom castle that hate this woman!
I hope she stays in this job role for a long time to come!
I also like el Reg's Simpsons quote at the start of the article:
Lisa Simpson: "I mean, if you're the police, who will police the police?"
Homer Simpson: "I dunno. Coast Guard?"

The EU's communications commissioner today vowed to press through sweeping reforms of the European telecoms market that she hopes will tear up the current red tape regime. She charged that governments and regulators have been too "cosy" with industry for too long, while consumers suffer.
Yes, a little too cosy specifically here in the UK I think!
She was in London to make the case for another layer of regulation to oversee Ofcom and other domestic watchdogs. There's a need for a "second pair of eyes" to ensure a level playing field across Europe, she insisted. "There are too many national regulators who obey industry and government," the commissioner charged.
Get that coast guard watching OFCOM pronto! :)
