re: OFCOM consultation on Postcode Address File
The Open Data User Group makes the case for an open addressing dataset.
This blogpost makes the general case and considers three likely options
for the future of PAF
http://data.gov.uk/blog/dont-sell-our-postcodes-odug-on-why-we-should-have-open-addressing-in-the-uk
Our response to the Ofcom consultation is in two documents here
http://data.gov.uk/library/odug-response-to-ofcom-paf-review-consultation
which challenge the businesss-as-usual assumptions of the consultation
and document some of the waste, cost and quality issues resulting from
Royal Mail's current commercial monopoly the Post Code Address file.
The Ofcom consultation is open until the 21st
