T-Mobile once again in the hook for 411 blackouts. The carrier has agreed to pay $ 19.5 million to complete the FCC investigation into the 12-hour service outage in June 2020 which caused 911 call failure. While the FCC did not know exactly how many emergency calls were affected because of some overlapping problems, recorded tens of thousands of problems.
More than 23,000 calls experience “complete” failure, the word FCC, while the same number does not include location data. About 20,000 other not included callback info. Blackouts begin when the rental fiber link on the T-Mobile network is wrong, and the single routing defect is enlarging the crisis. T-Mobile also has a problem with long distance accessing the fiber link.
This is not the first time T-Mobile dealt with 911 outages. It settled for $ 17.5 million from failure in 2014.
We have requested T-Mobile comments. The FCC said the operator responded to questions related to blackouts in “on time” mode, so this was not a debatable problem. Instead of companies tend to fight solutions that will not have a significant impact of its finances. And like it or not, this won’t do much to help people who can’t get full help at the crisis.
