The Federal Communications Commission is
investigating a brief but an apparently nationwide outage of 911 service
for customers of AT&T, its chairman said Wednesday night.
A spokesperson for AT&T confirmed to NBC
News late Wednesday that the company encountered a "service issue" that
affected "some calls to 911 for wireless customers." A few minutes
later, the company tweeted that service had been restored for all
customers.
The company didn't say how widespread the outage was, but as reports
poured in from across the country, Karima Holmes, director of unified
communications for the Washington, D.C., government, said her office had
been "advised there is a nationwide outage for AT&T."
