  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?

  @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra Telstra should never have been privatised. If it was still in public hands we’d have 100% mobile coverage across the nation today. Instead we have a cabal of privateers who cherry pick lucrative parts of our geography & then provide substandard services at Rolls Royce prices

  Telstra admits its entire network has a single point of failure, a 20yo time server connected to GPS. It failed, taking out thousands of customers, business, railways, etc. Imagine that on a global scale, triggered by one single satellite collision. Just waiting to happen.

  @peters_malcolm Do you really think that government owner Telstra was better and would have modernised better? The company that opposed accountability, tried to slow the progress of mobile telephony, resisted competition, fought to frustrate services that used the telecommunications network….
