SYDNEY (Reuters) - Three people in Australia have died after a technical failure at Optus, the country's second-largest telecommunications provider, disrupted emergency call services.
CEO Stephen Rue said the failure occurred during a network upgrade on Thursday, which potentially impacted 600 customers in the states of South Australia and Western Australia, and in the Northern Territory.
