Question What does Ofcom actually do?

Recently, I was naturally delighted to receive my latest demand for for my Aircraft Radio Licence Fee. Whilst it isn't a great deal of money (only £20 for 3 years), I can't help wondering what is the purpose?

The summary sheet they sent is totally out of date due to upgrading to 8.33 - which has obviously been notified to and accepted by CAA/EASA more than 2 years ago. If CAA and Ofcom don't even talk to each other, again, what is the purpose?

Apart from a tax, of course - which their demand states is "now due" despite it being more than 6 weeks beforehand! What did Ofcom ever do for us?
