    “This is because roaming, even temporarily, requires authentication of the end user by their MNO and ultimately the routing of their traffic back to the core network.”

    Vodafone’s parent company, TPG, said in its submission such a proposal is “likely to be complex and will require government funding support”.

    The Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) said its preliminary view on complaints received from Optus customers over the outage were mostly seeking compensation – beyond the free 200GB of data offered.

    The ombudsman said the harm suffered included being unable to work, make sales, pay for food or bills, attend medical appointments, contact friends or family, study or get information out of Optus about the outage.

    The Australian Communications and Media Authority (Acma) is conducting an investigation into the failure of emergency calls to connect and told the committee that remedies, if a breach is found, could include seeking penalties in the federal court.

    Kelly Bayer Rosmarin resigned as chief executive of Optus on Monday morning, after giving evidence to the committee on Friday, saying she believed it was in the company’s best interest she leave following the outage.
