The boss of TPG Telecom has revealed to a Senate inquiry that a second person may have died after they failed to connect to Triple Zero using an older Samsung phone. Inaki Berroeta says the death happened on September 24 in New South Wales’ Blue Mountains. A TPG customer, who was using a Samsung handset, tried to call emergency services but was unable to. TPG says it was only informed of the incident on Monday, a claim challenged by Telstra, whose CEO Vicki Brady says Telstra knew of the death on the day it happened and notified the government, which notified TPG.
