The mobile telecommunications industry is estimated to have secured revenues of around AU$8.8 billion for 2003-04, according to a report by the Allen Consulting Group.
The Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) welcomes the legislation passed by the Senate this week making it a criminal offence to "rebirth" stolen mobile phones by illegally modifying a phone's electronic serial number.
The mobile phone industry adds AU$5 billion to Australia's economy annually and paid more than 32,000 over AU$1 billion in wages in 2001-02, according to a new report.
Stolen or lost mobile phones will be blocked across all GSM networks in Australia from September 15.
The federal government has formally asked the Australian Communications Authority to investigate the feasibility of allowing state governments to jam mobile phone signals in jails.
