Re phone carriers, I’m not sure if this is only Telstra, which was (a long time ago) formerly a publicly owned monopoly, or if this applies with other carriers, too…
The other main carriers here are Optus and Vodafone, though I’ve only had Telstra, since way before this “pandemic”, so I honestly couldn’t tell you!

Now the question is if the carriers are doing this on their own or if government is directing them?
One is bad, the other is nightmarish.
A mixture of both, I'd guess.
