wieder mal Englisch - aber es gibt für so 'was vielleicht trotzdem Interessenten...
Sir G*Y* ist "Member of Parliament" für "North-West Hampshire" (UK) und hat eine Reihe beachtlicher Statements zum Thema "Dialer und Mehrwertdienste" abgegeben.
2004 brachte GY und ein weiterer Parlamentarier das Thema ins britische Parlament ein - Die "legendäre" Westminster Debate...

Hier also zwei Beiträge von Sir G*Y*:
" I make no apologies for again raising the abuse of premium rate services by unscrupulous operators who are fleecing our constituents"
"What is ICSTIS doing to reduce Premium Rate Scams?"
Viel Vergnügen bei dieser interessanten Lektüre... In etwa einem Monat wird man mehr hören
(und eine Frage: weiss jemand, was aus dieser Anfrage nach Brüssel geworden ist?)

All the money that ends up in the hands of the fraudsters starts off in the hands of reputable telephone companies
Man äußert sich da sehr konkret und mit allem, was die britische Trockenheit hergibt beispielsweise zu Firmen, deren deutsche Filialen man hier gut kennt...(Frage eines Parlamentariers)Will the right hon. Gentleman expand on why he has rejected the idea of a total ban on premium rate numbers? With so many abuses, is there not a case for that simple resolution of the problem? To use his example of television reality shows, I am sure that the makers or the companies would find some way of allowing the public to vote for them. It seems hard to suggest that the world would be a worse place if we did not have premium rate telephone numbers. (Antwort GY: The hon. Gentleman makes a strong case for abolishing premium rate numbers. As I said, I do not rule that option out.
Eine schottische Parlamentarierkollegin (Europaparlament) versuchte im Juli 2004 auch, mit einer parlamentarischen Anfrage Brüssel zu sensibilisierenICSTIS told me: "The real problem however was the subsequent reluctance and in effect refusal by One W**** I****active to provide us with the service provider information for the number range in question."
Why in heaven's name is Ofcom or ICSTIS allowing One W**** I****active to go on issuing 090 numbers if it refuses to co-operate?

Is the Commission aware of the current internet "scam" involving premium rate numbers, whereby software that allows companies to charge for content on their websites is automatically downloaded onto a PC, with the consumer later discovering that they have been charged extortionate rates for internet use by their telephone company, without even having viewed a premium rate website? Many consumers across the EU have found that this software, called "diallers", has been automatically downloaded onto their computer without their knowledge. There is concern that this widespread scam is being facilitated by Directive 00/31/EC on Electronic Commerce. Is the Commission taking any action to tackle this problem? If not, how does it intend to do so?
