Telcos shuffle into parliament for triple-zero grilling
The presidents of the leading telecommunication providers of Australia applied to the parliament to punish the Minister of Communication on the integrity of the triple zero network.
Stephen Rue, Optus CEO in a difficult situation, forced himself to question how the company allowed two emergency calls last month; One of them resulted in hundreds of unsuccessful calls and was linked to three deaths.
Mr. Rue said, “I’m looking forward to meeting the minister,” he said to journalists as he entered the parliament on Tuesday.
After meeting with the senior executives of the Minister of Communication Anika Wells, Optus, Telstra and TPG, the recently created triple zero storage system presented the law to the parliament.
The Saklamacı, who was within the Australian Communication and Media Authority, which will supervise the service, was the advice of a 18 -month report sent to the system after the previous Optus deduction in 2023.
Additional performance requirements will be published within six months after the start of the bill.
As of November 1, telecommunications companies will also have to report deductions to Acma and Emergency Services in real time and ensure that the upgrade and maintenance of their systems do not result in zero deduction.
Ms. Wells told Mr. Rue, Telstra Chief Vicki Brady and TPG boss Inaki Berroeta, before the upcoming national disaster season, the Australians before the triple zero told that they have legal obligation to have reliable access.
“Optus and all telecommunication operators have no excuses for triple zero interruptions,” he said to the House of Representatives.
Optus and Acma are conducting separate investigations on the interruption of September 18th.
The telecommunication company said that this occurred during an upgrade on the firewall systems.
Mrs. Wells said that after the Optus deduction, the trust of the people’s triple zero network should be rebuilt.
“With these new powers of three zero protectors, Australians can be sure that this vital service can be watched more actively and effectively to ensure that the society meets the needs of the society.”
