So, what I...

The theory of domestic roaming is fine.

And yes, normally it would appear to solve the problem.

But you don't want to just think create a new problem.

You've got to look at the utilisation rates of the networks, the probability of which one is going to, you know, if it's CPG, for example, in the bush, logging on to Telstra.

Yeah, but if say it's Telstra failing and then they all go on to Optus, which is presumably a smaller network in terms of configuration.

yeah and then it raises a whole lot of other questions as well about spectrum and all that kind of stuff right now telstra is only allowed to own 40 of the spectrum right but if it's if it's going to be the default network that everyone roams onto maybe that needs to be relaxed so there's actually kind of

There's kind of quite a lot of policy issues that need to be sorted out, but also making sure that those networks are provisioned properly to handle all that new traffic.

Particularly, and I don't want to sound like a doomsayer here, but particularly in overt crisis situations, let's say there's an earthquake in a city or some little mass calamity, which generates a lot of extra traffic.

You don't want to bring down every network.

And that's the potential issue of domestic roaming.

Oh, look, I mean, there's been similar debates over the universal service obligation for 10 or 11 years, and it hasn't moved an inch.

So I wouldn't be surprised if triple zero heads the same way.

And the way you've got it constructed right now is that the ACMA is nominally responsible for the enforcement of

penalties and the regime around triple zero but the triple zero custodian who's supposed to get everyone talking to each other is in the department of communications and then all the regulations around the resilience of networks you know i.e uptime that kind of thing that's in the home affairs department wow and then of course when these situations occur with outages

the Senate gets involved and holds inquiries and, you know, you just mentioned ACAN and there's a lot of people with voices here and it's not conducive to good long-term planning.

There's a lot of people shouting at each other or siloized, you know, and there's not a happy meeting.

Yeah, that's right.

I mean, triple zero is put in its own little department when actually it's part of a bigger issue in many respects.

And you look at these services that Telstra and Apple, which offers its own messaging service.
