Optus recently disclosed that its recent network outage was caused by a software upgrade by an ‘international peering network’, but declined to name this third party. However, sources close to Optus have revealed that it was the telco’s own parent company, Singapore Telecommunications; the botched upgrade is said to have been made on the Singtel Internet Exchange, and subsequently cascaded through the Optus network. Optus CEO Kelly Bayer Rosmarin will appear before a Senate hearing into the outage on Friday.
