“We will make public the facts,” Rue said at a televised news conference. “We will get recommendations of what to do and I’m determined that we will implement those.”
Australian phone company Optus will implement any recommendations from an independent review, Chief Executive Officer Stephen Rue said, after an emergency call outage that resulted in at least two deaths.
The board is preparing to appoint an outside expert to lead the review, he told reporters Sunday in Sydney. It will come alongside a government investigation, after officials indicated the Australian Communications and Media Authority will conduct its own probe into the outage.
