SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australian telco Optus said on Monday it had suffered another emergency call outage in an area south of Sydney, 10 days after a broader disruption that it said had probably caused four deaths when customers were unable to get timely aid.
The Australian government called the outage an "absolutely shocking failure" and has said it will seek answers from Singapore Telecommunications, which owns the country's No. 2 carrier.
