It was in 1981 that Australia’s first-ever mobile phone system was initiated. This early mobile phone system was fully automatic but it was definitely a long way from the current mobile services provided by various mobile phone companies and operators. Today, the mobile telecommunications industry in Australia is one of the fastest growing telecommunications markets.
