multi 911 agencies reported problems nationwide

Tuesday's outage is among several AT&T has experienced this year. On
Feb. 22, the company's network went down for many customers across the
United States, leaving them unable to place calls, text or access the
internet for hours. An initial review suggested the cause was an error
within the company, AT&T said. On June 4, another problem prevented
many AT&T customers from completing calls between carriers.

People in several states have had issues calling 911 in recent months.
In April, a 911 outage in Nevada, South Dakota and Nebraska was caused
by the installation of a light pole, according to Lumen, a company
that supports some of the 911 systems. An outage that shut down the
911 system in Massachusetts for two hours on June 18 was caused by a
computer firewall, a preliminary investigation revealed. Several
states, including Alaska and Arizona, experienced 911 service
disruptions during a global tech outage in July.
