Inquiry into Triple Zero Service Outages
ACCAN recently submitted to the Senate Environment and Communications References Committee’s Inquiry into Triple Zero service outages. Australians believe that access to mobile telecommunications is critical for participation in daily life.
However, the mobile telecommunications infrastructure that underpins the delivery of telecommunications services, including Triple Zero (000) is not regulated as an essential service. When access to telecommunications services, especially Triple Zero (000) is disrupted, public safety is threatened, and significant consumer harm can occur as a result.
