NATIONAL REGISTER FOR NEXT GENERATION OF 3G PHONES
Dermot Ahern T.D., Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources has announced new measures aimed at protecting children when the next generation of mobile phones come on stream later this year. Working with the mobile phone sector, he is to introduce a national register of the next generation 3G phones. These new phones are capable of carrying video clips and will be the most technologically advanced available. The Minister said: “To protect Irish children I think we need to go beyond the present degree of protection – we need a national register of 3G phones. Handsets will not be available until the end of the year and we have an opportunity now to provide increased safety mechanisms. In proposing a national register of 3G handsets I want to be clear that I intend working closely with industry on the detail of the register.” www.dcmnr.gov.ie/modules/pressreleases.asp
