After the Optus outage, Australia must harden its telecom lifelines

The government has pledged to bolster telco resilience after an Optus outage. That commitment must become more than rhetoric: Australians rely on phone and data networks for safety, business and daily life, and regulators must set clear standards and back them with resources.
