WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) - Charter Communications ( CHTR )

will pay a $15 million civil penalty to resolve an investigation

into compliance with network and 911 outage notification rules,

the Federal Communications Commission said on Monday.

The FCC said Charter admitted to violating the agency's

rules on notifications to public safety officials and the

commission in connection with three unplanned network outages

and hundreds of scheduled maintenance-related network outages

that occurred in 2023. The FCC said a February 2023 network

outage was because Charter's network was the target of a minor

denial of service attack.
