FCC
Investigates Widespread CenturyLink Outage That Disrupted 911 Service
… The telecommunications giant CenturyLink,
based in Monroe, La., says the
outage began at 8:18 a.m. ET on Thursday. The website Down
Detector says it primarily affected Western states, but emergency
service providers on both coasts reported disruptions. CenturyLink
has said "a network element ... was impacting customer services"
but has offered no further details on the cause of the outage or the
number of customers affected.
… The FCC says its last investigation of a 911
outage was launched in March of last year. It fined AT&T $5.25
million for two nationwide outages in March and May 2017 that lasted
a total of approximately six hours and resulted in the failure of
15,200 failed 911 calls.
In addition to disrupting 911 services, the
CenturyLink outage also caused outages of Verizon network services in
at least two states, New Mexico and Montana. Some ATMs in Montana
and Idaho also failed to work, and at the North Colorado Medical
Center in Greeley, Colo.,
doctors and nurses for a time had difficulty accessing patient
records.
These skills will be back home in a year.
