On these troubled shores, things never stay peaceful for long.
Having feuded all through 2022 on TPG’s decision to throw in its lot with Telstra , everyone involved is no doubt proud of how they pulled this off.
What does TPG’s access to Telstra’s regional spectrum have to do with bushfire preparedness? As Gladys Berejiklian tells it, more than you might think.said the deal would jeopardise Optus’ investment in regional Australia and risk lower economic growth, higher prices and greater risk of outages during disasters.“I have witnessed first-hand the devastating impact of floods and fires on our regional communities”, the former premier-turned Optus executive wrote on the Optus blog.
No one likes to be accused of facilitating death and mayhem. TPG, go figure, was furious, sending out corporate affairs execto accuse Optus of leveraging “the suffering of communities affected by bushfires and floods for social media stunts”.By November 2022, TPG and Telstra were, in joint submissions, writing that “Optus lost. Unsurprisingly, it does not like it”.
