Ofcom's Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn

Ofcom's chief executive Ed Richards has been calling for urgent action to reduce the roaming charges faced by consumers who use their mobiles in other European countries. The European telecoms commissioner, Viviane Reding, is arguably even more fearsome in her desire to curb the telcos' charges - last year she forced through cuts of up to 70% in the cost of making a call overseas. Anyway, this is all by way of background for Monkey readers who are likely to enjoy this offering that's doing the rounds on the internet, in which Ed and Viv are recast as the Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn of regulation. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
