Telstra recently warned about timing issue linked to national outage

Telstra's national mobile outage on 9 July was caused by a GPS timing synchronisation failure that government agencies and academics had warned about for years. The outage exposed that Australia's critical infrastructure relies on a single point of failure in satellite-based timekeeping systems, with no confirmed backup systems at Telstra. If you're building infrastructure—comms, finance, energy, defence—your system probably depends on GPS timing via a single vendor or path. Telstra just proved that one software glitch can stop a nation; regulators will now mandate redundancy, and that's a market for independent timing systems and failover networks.
