Re: Ex post vs ex ante

That'll be because the boss of Openreach (Mike McTighe) also served on the board of Ofcom.

All of that is simple public records:

Big difference between fines and collections

Has anyone done a FoI request to check the total value of fines issues vs the amount of money actually paid?

Getting tired of the Watchdog saying "we issued fines" but nothing actually happening. If it is having no affect, time to shut the department down.
