CORRECTED-Australia's Optus September outage independent review flags urgent process gaps

Corrects paragraph 2 to say September outage was linked to four deaths, not led to four deaths

Dec 18 (Reuters) - Optus, Australia's second-largest telecommunications provider, said on Thursday that an independent review into its September outage found gaps in process, accountability, and escalation and information protocols that need urgent attention.

A technical failure at Optus on September 18 had disrupted emergency call services, impacting 600 people, and was linked to four deaths.
