Apparently one was an 8-week old. Heads need to roll here but I have no faith in anything meaningful coming of this.

- madeofpalk 1y agoWhat would rolling heads actually achieve here? IMHO - there “just” needs to be stronger regulation that ensures carriers plan and account for this.
- tledakis 1y agoThe regulation is already there, mandating the telco routes 000 calls. They failed and as a result people died. What the parent poster probably means by rolling heads is, this should not just be a fine to the telco but literally people going to jail for the criminal negligence. How else is there going to be change? A money fine is just an operational expense that can be offset and "part of business if someone dies because of bad testing".
- vermilingua 1y agoOptus has had three catastrophic incidents in as many years, there is a clear failure of management and rolling those heads would make room for people not keen on repeating history.
- re-thc 1y ago> there is a clear failure of management and rolling those heads It's more a structural issue. Whilst it is a large chunk of assets, there's lots of competition so not really exciting. AUD has weakened, which makes it worth less by default. So if you were its owner (in Singapore) what would you do? You can't really sell it (not worth it), you can't really invest in it but you don't want to fold it.
