Australian telecommunications company Optus has reported another major outage, just ten days after a widespread disruption that may have contributed to four deaths. The company confirmed the issue was resolved and that all individuals who attempted to contact emergency services were safe. This new failure has intensified scrutiny of Optus, Australia’s second-largest telco, owned by Singapore Telecommunications (Singtel). He will be joined by Optus Chairman John Arthur and CEO Stephen Rue. The backlash follows the September 18 outage, a 13-hour disruption triggered by a network firewall upgrade.
