Samsung is ‘pausing’ shipments of the Galaxy Note 7 to Telstra, says internal memo

Samsung has "temporarily paused" shipments of replacement Galaxy Note 7 phones to at least one carrier partner, according to an internal memo from Australian carrier Telstra obtained by The Verge. The memo advises of changes to the Note 7 Global Exchange program, revealing that Samsung has halted supply of Galaxy Note 7 phones to the carrier after reports of fires in the US.
It goes on to note that Samsung is "confident" in the Note 7 and has "no reason to believe it’s not safe." This
