Who would own a mobile network, right? The past couple of weeks, Telstra had to adjust its mobile coverage maps to adhere to the ACMA's new rules so that maps are a bit more consistent and accurate when it comes to choosing your service provider.
But then this week, Telstra also suffered a pretty major network outage. We've seen Optus suffer with this in the not-too-distant-past, and Vodafone still hasn't shaken its "Vodafail" nickname.
The outage was over fairly quickly, but it was a pretty big one. And that means there are plenty of people out there baying for Telstra's blood.
Is it over the top and unnecessary? You bet! But will it stop? Unlikely!
Also this week, Amazon kicked off its Prime Day sale. There are some absolutely ridiculous discounts in the sale, so make sure you check it out.
Until next week
