I would call this outage by CenturyLink a 'Wake Up' alarm for America. Many could not use 911! Why is CenturyLink being so secretive as to the cause? Do they not know the cause? Then why not say so! Its interesting that we have not heard from the D.C. politicians on this! The FCC says it is going to start a probe of the failure.
In Boston a 1852 Fire Box was used to alert the Fire Department of a fire because 911 was not working! That is a huge statement on how we so much rely on all this modern day technology that failed us this week BIG TIME!, whereas an 1852 Fire Box saved the day in Boston!
