Vienna (pte050/14.01.2003/13:05) - The head of the Association for Telecommunications and Radio Companies http://wko.at/telekom/ , Alfreda Bergmann-Fiala, has presented the government with a catalogue of demands. Bergmann-Fiala said that the government should remove obstacles to the creation of new networks especially for mobile phones, as well as put into place a legally-binding limit for emissions from mobile phone transmitters.
The association has also asked the government to reimburse them for their work in criminal surveillance. Erich Cibulka of T-Mobile said that telephone surveillance "was not the exception but the general rule". He noted that at his company two people were employed full time to monitor telephone conversations and that special software also had to be purchased. The providers of cable networks have also asked the government to help them, saying that they are struggling financially with a "flood of extra demands".
