Telstra

And it really depends on which sector of the economy you're talking about.

It even links back to privatization, that privatization of Telstra, Qantas, Commonwealth Bank.

CBA.

Yeah.

That's the other thing.

I'm going to go into Telstra.

Do they still have Telstra? Apple.

Apple.

I'm going to go into Apple.

I do believe Telstra still...

We'll connect you.

...goes around and do that because...

The main telecommunication providers are trying to help boost network resilience this season.

Telstra's Northern Queensland Regional General Manager, Rachel Cliff, says the company has joined forces with Optus and Vodafone to enable temporary disaster roaming.

So say in a disaster event, not all of our mobile network carriers are working.

So say in the case of in this scenario, Telstra is still working, but Optus is not working during a disaster event.

We can now switch on this temporary disaster roaming where, if possible, and it's safe to do so, those Optus customers that may have been impacted and lost coverage can temporarily roam onto our Telstra network.

This is vice versa.

If our network was unavailable and Optus was still up and running, we can do this and same with Vodafone.

So that's a new capability.

I do, don't I? But I wondered about data roaming.

I've been told from Telstra it's going to cost me $10 a day for international roaming, which is for two phones, that's going to be around about $1,000.

which I thought was a fair bit.

Is that not a fair bit? Is that normal? Is there any other way I can do

So everywhere you've got Wi-Fi and that, they should be able to just ring you, turn all the roaming and everything off.

And I would basically go along and say to your husband, turn everything of yours off.

You can use the SIM card on there, or you might even go along and redirect your Telstra number to that eSIM number that you'll get.

I'll redirect it.

We'll have to work through the phantom draft.

All right, let's get to our Telstra AFL player tracker.

And this week it revolves around Dougie Cochran.

So I want to go back to this tweet from you.

Massive episode.

Big thanks to you, Kel.

Big thanks to Telstra.

Big thanks to everyone for watching at home as well.

There'll be other startups that are going at the same time.

I think the people side, it's really important because, yeah, I've worked for 20 years at Telstra.

You know, I worked at NBN.

I worked at another large organisation in the earth moving equipment space, which had about a thousand people.

Money just flows around.

And so this article was talking about how like you would have to sell like TPG, broadband, Telstra, like they'd have to be fire sales of like 5, 10, 15, 20% of all these things, which would be absolutely disastrous.

So she's rewriting that now to be more business friendly.

And basically all of her policies are up for grabs because really what she cares about is making business happy.
