However, its submission backed up claims made by outgoing Optus CEO Kelly Bayer Rosmarin last week that it would be unfeasible to expect telcos to start sharing each other’s networks during outages. Telstra has undertaken a trial to show that this is possible in times of natural disasters such as floods or bushfires. The most contentious issue for Australia’s telcos stemming from the outage has been pressure to enable a new regime of roaming, which would mean customer services spill on to rival networks if their provider goes dark. However, we did answer some emergency calls from Optus customers during the outage.” “We do not have visibility of Optus customer experiences related to their ability to place successful triple zero calls. All calls successfully delivered to the Triple Zero Emergency Call Answer Point were answered,” Telstra’s submission said. “We confirm that the service operated as per normal through the outage. These points facilitate a globally standardised mechanism called emergency camp-on, which enables a mobile caller, who is outside the scope of their own network, to dial triple-zero via a rival provider. Telstra and TPG have weighed in on the Optus outage with submissions to the Senate Inquiry. It said Optus’ failure to connect 228 triple-zero calls during its 14-hour outage had nothing to do with the Emergency Call Answer Points it runs under contract with the government. Telstra’s preliminary submission to the Senate inquiry scheduled on Friday argues it is unrealistic to expect that outages be eliminated.
