The proposed legislation could distort the UK telecommunications market if UK consumers switched to overseas providers of services because they perceived that the legislation would impact on their privacy. The majority of overseas providers, however, operate under similar, if not more intrusive legal regimes, without the rigorous safeguards provided by the proposed UK legislation. We therefore believe that there is unlikely to be any significant or lasting distortion of the market.
