Verizon has agreed to pay a $1 million settlement to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) over a 911 call outage in December 2022, which affected six states for nearly two hours. Hundreds of people were unable to reach 911 on Verizon's wireless network due to the company's violation of FCC rules by failing to deliver 911 calls during the outage. As part of the settlement, Verizon will implement a compliance plan and pay a $1 million civil penalty.
