Major reforms are being urged in the wake of last year's outage that impacted 10 million Australians.
They are just two recommendations of a review led by former deputy chair of the Australian Communications and Media Authority Richard Bean into last November's Optus systems failure that impacted 10 million customers.
The final version of the Bean report, released today, urges a major shake-up in what telecommunication companies are required to tell emergency services and authorities if a similar outage occurs again. Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said the federal government would be implementing all 18 recommendations.
"Last year's Optus outage and the Telstra triple-zero fault earlier this year highlights vulnerabilities in the system."Minister for Communications Michelle Rowland said the government would carry out the recommendations of the Bean review.
