WASHINGTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - AT&T ( T ) has agreed to
pay $950,000 to resolve a Federal Communications Commission
investigation into an August 2023 outage of 911 calls in four
states, the agency said Monday.
The outage, which occurred during testing of portions of
AT&T's ( T ) 911 network, impacted calls in parts of Illinois, Kansas,
Texas, and Wisconsin.
AT&T ( T ) has agreed as part of the settlement to implement a
three-year compliance plan aimed at ensuring future compliance
with the FCC's 911 and outage notification rules. The 911 outage
lasted for 1 hour and 14 minutes, resulting in over 400 failed
911 calls, the FCC said.
