Old news really but I haven't seen it mentioned here:

Ofcom has today imposed financial penalties on four companies under
section 130 of the Communications Act 2003 (the “Act”). Penalty notices
have been issued to Bracken Bay Kitchens Ltd, Space Kitchens and
Bedrooms Ltd, Toucan Residential Ltd (formerly IDT Direct Ltd) and
Carphone Warehouse plc, for contravening section 128 of Act by making
an excessive amount of silent or abandoned calls.

Ofcom has imposed the following penalties:

Space Kitchens £45,000
Bracken Bay Kitchens £40,000
Carphone Warehouse £35,000
Toucan £32,500

Trivial penalties given the size of the businesses (and the size of the
abuse).
