Toward the Regulation of the Location-Based Services Industry: Influencing Australian Government Telecommunications Policy

澳大利亚的移动的电话普及率是世界上最高的。由于如此多的澳大利亚人依赖他们的移动终端进行安全的语音和数据通信，为每个人收集的存储位置信息的敏感性和数量现在才被认识到。包括政府机构、私营企业、用户及其监控者在内的利益相关者对位置信息的收集、使用和披露需要受到监管。这项研究将使澳大利亚处于电信政策的最前沿，并提供立法建议，帮助克服挑战，确保用户隐私。

Mobile telephone penetration in Australia is among the highest in the world. With so many Australians relying on their mobile device for secure voice and data communications, the sensitivity and magnitude of stored location information being gathered for each person is only now being realised. The collection, use and disclosure of location information by stakeholders including government agencies, private enterprise, and subscribers and their monitors needs to be regulated. This research will place Australia at the forefront of telecommunications policy, and provide legislative recommendations that can aid in overcoming the challenges to ensure subscriber privacy.
