OPTUS Outage
Did the Optus outage have any impact on aviation operation today other than passengers not being able to receive text's about delayed flights?

I know a bunch of millennials that had to communicate by actually speaking to people face to face and having to occasionally look people in the eye and nod occasionally. You could sense the relief was palpable when the network came back online. The room went back to silence, well, apart from the sound of frenzied texting. There was an upkick in counselling appointments made to deal with the half day of trauma.

And about those apps which depend on 4G for various bits of “real time” data? Sweaty palms all around.
+1 for a SkyEcho or similar that would have happily continued to display ADSB-out equipped aircraft.

Saw some brief TV News footage of some poor Optus Office employee in Adelaide being foully verbally abused by some ignorant bogan who was demanding to be told when the outage would be fixed!!

The Letters to the Editor of today's Australian Newpaper has a comment from a reader that he heard a Radio Caller to a Talkback station complaining that (because of the Optus outage) "their automatic cat feeder wouldn't work and pussy cat wasn't happy."
The Letter writer went on to say that "Resorting to manually feeding your cat is easy but it does make you wonder how much technology has taken over our lives and this didn't even involve AI."
Further comment escapes me.
