#US, #UK and #Australia agree pact to protect #underseacables, ‘the arteries of modern civilisation’
The governments plan to develop new unmanned undersea vehicles as part of trilateral #AUKUS pact.
Around 570 cables carry 95%-99% of world’s intercontinental #telecommunications data. Fiber cables can carry terabits per second; satellites handle far less. And "networks of green energy cables carrying #electricity are also starting to sprawl across the world's seabeds."

Our ABC quotes Ms Brady, Telstra CEO saying:
“ "When our network fails, the impact is real. I particularly want to acknowledge the concern caused by impacts to some Triple Zero calls. Triple Zero sits at the heart of public trust in Australia's communication system."Telstra has a critical role in that system and we take that responsibility extremely seriously. No-one should be left wondering whether a call for emergency help will get through."”
And yet that’s how it is now. We’re all wondering now whether our Triple Zero call will get through if & when we’re in an emergency and need to make one.
There’s something about this way of communicating, I can’t put my finger on what it is… it’s as if they’re talking AT us, trying to convince us that what they say is true… when the evidence is that they don’t believe it themselves. A sort of “boys will be boys” approach…
Sure, no one should be left wondering… but networks will be networks… complex networks… & they fall over & calls fail… because that’s how it is…
Apparently nearly half, “45 per cent of calls, data affected at outage peak”. The outage effects lasted several hours, & I’m still hearing from people about bizarre things happening with their phones.
I just don’t feel this is good enough since we’re all so reliant on this network. There must be a better way to do things; maybe we have to step back & do fewer things but do them better; or have less eggs in the basket or more baskets…

@jimbob
I had similar happen in a normal phone call with a friend 2 days ago. There we were, chatting away & the phone hangs up on us. Four times before we called it quits. Irregular intervals (after 15, 12, 4 minutes - didn’t time the first one). My underlying network is Telstra (Aldimobile is my service provider). ☹️Good luck with your call. 🍀

@andyjennings
Yes. If there are no consequences, why bother?Even if Telstra are fined, say, what does that do? Just makes the sloppy poor service more expensive for those forced to use it.

On the recent Telstra outage, looks like there are/will be few if any consequences. ABC reports:
“The Telstra incident has led to further questions about what more the government could do to protect customers from future outages.“Senator Hanson-Young said tougher regulations were needed.
“"There's no right to compensation for customers or penalties on the companies for failed mobile phone service," she said.
“"We need stronger laws, stronger enforcement and stronger penalties."”

Professor Kealy said the pitch to #telcos and other critical infrastructure operators was that they needed to identify shared points of failure before an outage exposed them.”
"We have been approaching all the critical infrastructure sectors to tell them, we have to act now,"

The gap opened when John Howard privatised Australia's #telecommunications infrastructure. While maximising revenue from the privatisation of Telstra, that betrayed the nation. The only solution is #DePrivatisation
"Nor does it mean governments should run telecommunications networks."
I disagree. The #PublicGood dictates the the public control vital infrastructure.

Evaluating the Digital Networks Act: The European Pirates’ Consultation Input
Explore, Enhance, and Include - these three principles capture the broader ambitions of the Digital Networks Act (DNA), a cornerstone of the European Union's Digital Decade vision for 2030. The proposal seeks to modernize Europe's digital infrastructure, accelerate connectivity, and create a more integrated telecommunications market across Member States. However, as the DNA moves from policy ambition toward implementation, it is time to introduce another dimension: Evaluation. From a policy […]
