BROADBAND SWITCH
Some of the worst broadband providers in the UK do their best to make things difficult when you want to switch to an ISP with better service. Ofcom has announced new rules on broadband migration that come into effect next month to make it easier to switch providers - or to move your broadband connection to a new address. From Valentine's Day, broadband providers will be required to supply customers with a Migration Access Code (MAC) on request and free of charge. A MAC is a unique reference code, needed to ensure that customers stay connected during the time it takes to complete their transfer.

REGULATION ISSUE
From today, companies in the UK must include certain information on their Web sites and in their e-mail footers or they will breach the Companies Act and risk a fine. The minimum information needed on any business site includes the name, geographic address and e-mail address of the business and the legal name of the organisation with which the customer is contracting. Also, if the business is a company, the registered office address and the registration number. If the business is a member of a trade or professional association, membership details, including any registration number, should be provided. If the business has a VAT number, it should be stated - even if the Web site is not being used for e-commerce transactions. Prices on the site must be clear and unambiguous and state whether they include tax and delivery costs. Retail sites must comply with the Distance Selling Regulations, which cover requirements for businesses that sell to consumers (B2C, as opposed to B2B). For details, see OUT-LAW's guide: The Distance Selling Regulations - An Overview.
