Increasing the supply of Reseller Identification Codes (RIDs)

Published: 27 October 2014
Consultation closes: 28 November 2014
Status: Closed (statement published)

This statement concerns a type of code known as a Reseller Identification Code (RIDs) that is allocated by Ofcom to communications providers (CPs) for administrative purposes.

In October 2014 we published a consultation on our proposals to change the format of RIDs to accommodate expected increases in demand. In this statement, we set out our analysis of stakeholder responses to our consultation. We conclude that there is insufficient evidence that demand is likely to exceed availability of RIDs under their current format. On this basis, we decide to maintain the current RID format, as a three character alphabetic code.
