  @david89293299 Where was the communications minister moron? Some one needed to step up and actually test it! Not like the the bungled Optus uggrade where the 000 outage went unnoticed for hours. Smart and proactive! Not something you Labtards would know anything about

  @therevaknight Because of Government incompetence, they had no simple backup system, they made NO allowances for technological failure, complexity is the enemy of reliable; the reliability issue was known (ref previous OPTUS outage). NO REDUNDANCY for critical infrastructure! @heidimur

  @footyindustryAU SBS know what their doing and I hope they never lose it again. They proved themselves the home of the world cup after Optus.

  @nswpolice A question. As modern phones support Sat for messages - mine switched to it - should we be pushing for configs that use Sat for 000 for these circumstances? This is a good time to push Telstra and Optus to look at it rather than fine them

  @FranMooMoo I wonder if his satellites can be used for mobile phone network? Mobile phone calls and text messages don't use much bandwidth unlike the internet, if he were to somehow make phones and they worked everywhere even in the desert Telstra Vodaphone, and Optus would go bust
