  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?

  @AlboMP Anthony will you be calling a Royal commission into the Telstra outage also I think we need a Royal Commission into why Roger Federer was sitting alone at Wimbledon?

  Listen to me. Telstra CEO Vicky Brady losing her job might make you feel better but it won't help improve the system. I've seen this scenario play out multiple times throughout my ITC career. Someone else comes in & it's Snakes & Ladders. Listen to the technicians. #auspol

  Looks like Neil really was behind the Telstra outage. He literally sealed off the network. And no, I’m not just trying to seal the seals because penguins happen to be seal food. What am I saying. #neiltheseal #telstra

  I (and assume many others) met with Telstra many times over the years pitching why they needed more redundancy in their network, like my team setup up in the UK, also here in Australia even how we paid for it as a Telco, there and here in Melbourne. Telstra never wanted to spend the money, all about monetary cost vs likely financial risk. Some of the issues were well known. 1) Failure of the Triple Zero (000) Fallback, 2) Centralized "Single Point of Failure" for Time Sync, 3) Total Lack of Sovereign Redundancy for Public Services. @AnikaWells - a good quesition .. "Telstra how many of the known 3 failed systems in this exact incident did you have redundancy in or available but cut funding to, and / or staff, but did not have due to lack of perceived financial risk, eg 000 back up. .. @abcnews

  @strangerous10 Telstra should never have been privatised and we should "Compulsorily Acquire" it back & nationalise it !

  @therealrukshan @FranMooMoo Throwing Telstra under the bus in a blame game. Any company responds to incentives, not just public lectures. They need to set the incentives better and check for robustness before **** goes wrong. This chick is supposed to be my MP. No chance I’ll vote for her.

  @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.
