CenturyLink has been fined more than $1.3 million by Washington state
regulators for their role in a two-day 911 outage that began on
Dec. 27, 2018.

According to a press release Monday from the Washington Utilities and
Transportation Commission, the outage affected all Washingtonians. The
commission also noted that CenturyLink violated state laws and “its
actions harmed the public by failing to complete at least 13,000 911
calls” in the 50-hour timespan.
