This Kip Meek
Kip is Non-Executive Chairman of the Broadband Stakeholder Group.
The BSG is the industry-government forum for tackling strategic
issues across the converging broadband value chain. As of 1st May
he is a full-time Board member of Ingenious Media Plc; he is also a
Non-Executive Board member of the RadioCentre and Phorm.
Kip was previously a board member at Ofcom, where he took a leading
role in developing Ofcom’s international strategy. He was also
Chairman of the European Regulators’ Group (ERG) and oversaw
Ofcom’s engagement with key European and international
decision-making bodies. This included Ofcom’s participation in the
review of the EU Television Without Frontiers Directive, the review
of the EU Telecommunications Framework and the international
Regional Radio Conference in 2006. He was also responsible for the
Ofcom Content & Standards Group and for Ofcom’s Legal Group.
Before joining Ofcom, Kip Meek was Managing Director of Spectrum
Strategy Consulting, and one of its two founders. His consulting
career focused on major decisions in the communications industry,
particularly those that involved integration of the media,
telecommunications and information sectors. Kip worked regularly in
Europe, Asia, North America and South America.
Prior to setting up Spectrum, he led the media and telecoms
strategy practice at Coopers & Lybrand in London and worked
previously for the Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey & Co and
British Telecom.
Kip is Chairman of Ingenious Consulting Network. His role is to
develop the consulting and research businesses and to support
Ingenious's private equity and corporate finance capabilities. He
was previously an Executive Board member of the UK's media and
telecoms' regulator, Ofcom from its establishment in 2003 until
2007. Prior to Ofcom, Kip was a founding partner and Managing
Director of Spectrum Strategy Consultants. Alongside his role at
Ingenious, Kip is chairman of the Broadband Stakeholders Group and
a director of the Radio Centre.
A member of Phorm's board also works as a taxpayer-funded broker at
the heart of UK internet policy, in the very department tasked this

The request was refused because of the limit on expenditure for each request. The letter also states that part of the search would be taken up verifying if any notes or minutes had been taken at any meeting. It has been my experience so far that if any notes were taken it would be a first where this subject is concerned.
