The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has fined Optus A$12 million ($8 million) for failing to ensure emergency call services during a nationwide outage last November, which left many without phone or internet access. The regulator found that over 2,100 customers couldn't reach emergency services, and Optus neglected to follow up with many of them post-outage. This penalty follows recent legal troubles for the telecom company, which has been struggling since a major cyber attack in 2022.
