It will replace the existing Panel of Telecommunications Commodities, Carriage and Associated Service (TCCAS) in driving the development of mobile technology.

Among the companies selected for the panel are digital content firm Reddo Media Services, internet service provider iiNet and Mediabrands agency Mnet Mobile

Reddo chief executive Shane Mitchell said it will help the government to look for opportunities for mobile apps and digital content.
