Scope
The committee was appointed as a result of community concern about the offensive and sexually explicit content of 0055 telephone messages, and the apparent absence in legislation of measures to control the content of such services. The committee examined implementing a code of conduct reflecting community standards to the new services of pay television, videotex and telephone message services.
