The FCC has launched a federal investigation into telecommunications company CenturyLink after a failure of the company's systems in Louisiana led to 911 outages across the US on Thursday. Customers in several markets were left without Internet, and vital services like
911 were down temporarily, with local police departments urging residents to call their local numbers with emergencies.
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has ordered the investigation, calling the outage "completely unacceptable, and its breadth and duration are particularly troubling."
