Shares of TPG Telecom (ASX:TPG) and Telstra (ASX:TLS), the provider handling emergency calls, were marginally higher in recent Monday trade after The Australian reported Sunday that Communications Minister Anika Wells demanded "urgent" talks to discuss plans to limit service outages that impact emergency calls.
The call for a Tuesday talk comes after Optus Mobile, which uses TPG's spectrum, reported that a second service outage impacted emergency calls in New South Wales on Sept. 28.
