https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/staff/table-26<\/a>. The table shows that in the 2020/21 academic year, there were 8,720 academic staff at UK providers allocated to cost centre 121, named \u2018IT, systems sciences & computer software engineering\u2019. Video game academics could be allocated in other cost centres, but the aforementioned 121 is the most likely.<\/p>This is the most granular breakdown available and does not specify video games or computer games. As such, lecturers who teach video games comprise some subset of that number. Additionally, not all academic staff are engaged in teaching, therefore the number includes researchers and other staff, in addition to lecturers.<\/p>"}

In 2017, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), the UK's regulator of advertising, reviewed consumer understanding of the term \u2018fibre\u2019 as used in broadband advertising (particularly for part-fibre services such as Fibre to the Cabinet) and any impact the use of this term has on consumers\u2019 transactional decisions. The ASA engaged with stakeholders and received a range of responses from providers of part-fibre and full-fibre broadband services, consumer organisations and other regulators.<\/p>
The ASA published their findings in November 2017 and concluded by stating the following:\u201cIt is not possible to conclude that the word \u2018fibre\u2019, as currently used in part-fibre advertising, is likely to mislead and misinform consumers.\u201d<\/p>
Both the ASA and Ofcom are independent regulators and such matters relating to industry rules on advertising and broadband speed claims are a matter for their discretion.<\/p>
