Kip is a Chairman of South West Screen, a Senior Adviser to Everything Everywhere and a Director of the Radio Centre.

He was appointed ‘Independent Spectrum Broker’ by the UK government in February 2009 with the objective of facilitating the highly contentious ‘refarming’ process, associated with the 900 MHz spectrum band.

Between 2003 and 2007, Kip was a Board member of Ofcom where he held a variety of responsibilities, including chairing the European Regulators Group. Kip led the negotiations with British Telecom (BT) that lead to the establishment of Openreach, the functionally-separated division of BT.
