The report, received by the government in April, found that the differences between television, print, radio and internet media would be blurred by devices such as 3G mobile phones and wireless internet access. It suggested that the government regulate based on the amount of control service providers have over content instead of via the method used to access it. The report did however express concern about mobile chat services, claiming they could be used by pedophiles to target children. The report found it would be more difficult for parents to supervise their children's mobile chat behaviour as they would have access to the service from anywhere. The report said this could be countered by the fact that mobile users are easier to identify than users on the internet , making pedophiles less likely to use the service. The report also suggested that internet access via mobile telephones be limited to customers over the age of 18, unless minors have permission from their parent or guardian. Under current Australian law, a minor is unable to sign up for an account with an internet service provider, but is able to access WAP based internet services without restriction.
