Last week, millions of Australians were reminded that their phone and data service is only as reliable as one company’s software, when Telstra experienced its third major outage in under a year.
Today, we’ll unpack why these outages keep happening, what regulators want to do about it, and a question that’s been the subject of a decade-long debate: If a telco experiences an outage, why can't your phone jump onto a competitor’s network instead?
Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Billi FitzSimons Producer: Orla Maher Video Editor: Rosa Bowden
