| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the meeting between the heads of Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. (SingTel) and its Optus division with Australian Communications Minister Anika Wells, following a network outage that resulted in multiple fatalities. SingTel Group CEO Yuen Kuan Moon, Optus CEO Stephen Rue, and Chairman John Arthur will discuss the incident, which left customers unable to contact emergency services for nearly 13 hours, leading to the deaths of four individuals. The outage has sparked public outrage and poses a reputational crisis for Optus, which has previously faced penalties for similar issues. SingTel has invested over A$9.3 billion in Optus's network infrastructure in recent years. [Extracted from the article] |
