  @FetchStep It doesn't work that way inside Telstra. I've worked there. There are so many layers of management it's next to impossible for a technician to speak directly to a CEO about a potential problem. That's my point here. Listen to the technicians & build it with more resilience.

  @Bigly20 @Caitlen2310 The Guardian asks why hasn't the government acted on regulations since the Optus outage last year? I ask what did the Coalition do about regulations after the Telstra outages in 2016 & 2018? What private discussions and/or guarantees did they obtain from Telstra after those events? In 2018 Triple Zero calls dropped out across 5 states for 10 hours. If it were so simple why didn't the Coalition insist on Telstra installing back up systems? Maybe we need a Royal Commission (joke).

  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?

  @EVERALDATLARGE As ever, @australianlabor will hide behind "the responsible use of taxpayers' money" not to use targeted ownership to regain parts of Telstra. What happens there is another outage? Is it acceptable to just let people die? Don't think so.

  @BerryAndBitty @griffonboi @VLine GSM-R or even FRMCS isn't suited for Australia's dense landmass... First of all the latter is essentially 5G which due to its use of higher frequencies essentially means you'll need to duplicate the entire Telstra network (plus more) to achieve anything

  @NetworkChuck Hi mate Australia just had its national network carrier Telstra go down because it lost time Sync. SOmething I know you would be interested in with server time sync videos in the past.

  @SkyNewsAust Is it true the outrage was due to the technical side of Telstra being handed over to contractor companies in India, and the “Telstra” mangers who look after this area are also located in India!? There are very few Australians left to work on our own network here is Australia!

  @strangerous10 Does Sarah Martin really think such a thing couldn’t happen if the Government owned Telstra? Bad management is bad management. Government is full of bad managers. Technology is constantly changing and such occurrences will happen again - Govt, public or private.

  Telstra is a PRIVATE CORPORATION not a govt institutuon. LNP with Hanson (Ind) in 1997.. partial sale & 2006 with PHON support.. FULL sale! That’s why it’s NOT a good idea to PRIVATISE VITAL INDUSTRIES (communications banks etc)! Labor STILL dealing with/fixing LNP/PHON MESS!
