Australian Telco's Problematic DB
Hello, given up on Australian bureaucracy.
Australia’s top telcos, including TPG Telecom, Telstra and Optus, have quietly moved to establish a shared database of problematic mobile handsets in a bid to improve the reliability of emergency call services
Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that they all got their behinds clicked lately would it.
Telstra, Optus, TPG build new list of devices causing trouble for triple zero
Say they could no longer wait for ACMA to do it.

That has prompted the carriers to go ahead without the regulator and create their own shared database which will allow the carriers to report devices that they’ve found to be bad to each other.
The database will not be made available to consumers directly.
However, it’s understood that the register will speed up the process of blocking problematic devices, meaning that consumers will be made aware of them sooner.
Watch that space
