Here's potential for disaster. Is there any evidence that collectively
as an ICT industry we are any better at first cutover to safety critical
pubic services than when the London Ambulance service was replaced in 1992?

A modern Triple Zero Emergency Call Service utilising the latest
technologies will be implemented nationally, with the federal
government calling for expressions of interest for operators to take
over the contract to provide “enhanced” services.

Telstra, which operates the national emergency service, will have to
submit a tender to continue, as the government seeks an operator to
provide “enhanced” services.
The government called on Thursday for Expressions of Interest
following a review of the Triple Zero (000) services, looking at ways
to take advantage of new technologies for the provision of “improved”
services in the future. The review concluded with a report and
implementation plan published earlier this year.
The government is now seeking an operator for the service who can
implement an IP-based service that can "keep pace with the rapidly
changing social and technological environment".
