  @Optus The issue we have is that OPRUS has a history of being hacked and not doing the right thing by its customers so why would I trust you with storing my credit card information and deducting whatever you want? Optus SHOULD MAINTAIN THE OPTION TO ALLOW ITS CUSTOMERS TO POST PAY…

  Can’t wait to ditch Optus and their compromised customer data.

  @lozturnner Why would you want to hand out Bibles? If you tried to hand me a Bible outside Optus on Bourke Street, I would be offended, and harass you until you left the space. What ******** do you know about IRAN? I find YOU strange

  @ChinaSelect Australia has had two major telecommunications network failures. As a result of the Telstra failure, three people died, including a baby. One person died as a result of the Optus failure. No infrastructure should have any exposure to foreign adversaries.

  Orbital robotics is quietly becoming a real commercial business, not a DARPA demo. Northrop's Mission Robotic Vehicle just launched on a Falcon 9 with two robotic arms and three detachable Mission Extension Pods. In 2027, it will autonomously dock with the Optus satellite at ~27,000 miles up and bolt on a pod to extend its life by 6 years. The Optus bird launched in 2009, designed for 15 years. It's not broken. It just needs propellant. That's the whole thesis here. The business model shift is what stands out. Operators buy and own the MEPs permanently attached to their spacecraft. That frees the MRV to keep servicing other vehicles, more like a mobile repair truck than a dedicated tug. Two MEVs have already delivered 10 years of combined life extension across three customers. The unit economics are starting to close. Autonomous proximity ops at GEO velocities, with no margin for error, is the hard part. Does the MRV's dual-arm approach give it enough dexterity to handle satellites it wasn't originally designed to service?

  @Zlunks @DavePaul__ @SBSNews Or it goes to a subscription service and you have to pay to watch. Remember when Optus shared the rights with SBS?

  @myGovau Go digital they said. What that has got us? MyGov, Telstra, Optus hacked. Stolen identities, etc. This isn't even 1% the problem. Why keep pushing something that causes many problems & stress to everyday ppl? Tracing private citizens every move is the objective.

  @FrankWCE1992 @kanecornes Are you ****** retarded? We share a home ground with 5 other clubs you spastic. Zero neutrality in it when we play hawthorn or Richmond (even though they are **** at the moment). We would win MORE games as an average team if we had an Optus Stadium advantage.
