  Regarding @Telstra outage recently.... looks like were 'hacked' i think this is an insurance claim. So insurance detectives will make hackers cough up to reimburse those affected. If people wait until insurance case is processed, just put in your claims to telstra, and in due course you will be generously reimbursed by culprit hackers responsible after insurance company processes this case. I suspect Chinese government, so they have lots of money to reimburse everyone. @VictoriaPolice

  @stationmum101 @Telstra Doubt it. They are so self absorbed, it would never cross their tiny little minds.

  The government’s big idea for fixing telco failures? Slap them with a $7.3 billion spectrum renewal tax — almost double what Telstra considered fair value — then threaten massive fines for triple-zero outages. Gartner analyst Khurram Shazad said it outright: this can do the opposite of strengthening resilience. Telcos are already stuck with stagnating revenue growth. These inflated spectrum fees just crush their margins harder. So they do the obvious thing under pressure. They stop spending on actual redundancy. No secondary backup power systems at base stations. No automated routing failovers. No diverse fibre backhaul paths. Capital expenditure gets deferred instead. The core network becomes brittle. One software glitch or timeserver ****-up and failures cascade into proper disasters. High spectrum costs simply extract the economic surplus from the sector. Networks look faster on paper because of the shiny new bands. In practice they are significantly less resilient when it actually matters. When the next outage hits and the “improved” networks fall over anyway, who gets the blame?

  @QBCCIntegrity @OMGTheMess Interesting timing when the Indian PM comes to Australia the same week Telstra has an outage!

  @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra Don’t believe they did nothing but they were far too slow to respond. When the risk analysis says the problem is urgent, don’t faff around

  The @AustralianLabor government communications minister threatening to fine @Telstra $40m for their outage is next level hypocrisy given the carnage the same government has caused to the economy and tax payers with no ramifications.

  @PauloHalo She’s there talking to people about what has happened there under Labor so that she can use that intel to determine her policies… especially for whack job Victoria. Real research. Did you know that the modelling that Chalmers did on CGT related to shares, was based on people having one share. That’s one Telstra share, one BHP share, one ETF. This is nobody. Maybe a child ? Not any Australian investor. Pathetic rubbish that doesn’t help anyone but the immigrants who will receive this tax money in welfare.
