澳大利亚电信巨头Telstra承认其时间系统故障风险早已知晓，并正在调查为何备份措施未能阻止本周的大规模网络中断 [1]。首席执行官Vicki Brady在首次公开露面时对此表示“深感抱歉”[1]。与此同时，南澳警方正在调查此次中断期间是否有人因无法拨打紧急电话（triple zero）而死亡 [1]。
Telstra has admitted that the risks associated with its timing system failures were already known prior to this week's major network disruption, while simultaneously investigating why backup measures failed to prevent the incident [1]. Vicki Brady, the chief executive officer of Telstra Australia, publicly expressed her "deeply sorry" sentiments regarding the outage during her first public appearance addressing the issue [1]. Concurrent with these corporate acknowledgments, South Australian police are conducting an investigation into whether any fatalities occurred due to individuals being unable to call emergency services (triple zero) during the period of network interruption [1].
