   FCC Investigating AT&T's 911 Outage [tel

   The Federal Communications Commission is investigating an alarming 911   
   outage that affected AT&T Wireless customers nationwide Wednesday.   
   Police departments in various cities reported the outage, with customers   
   unable to dial 911 from their cellphones. Police took to social media to   
   offer alternative, non-emergency phone numbers in case of emergency,   
   though that meant dispatchers were unable to see callers’ locations.   
   Although the issue was resolved late Wednesday, it was unclear what   
   caused the widespread outage. Ajit Pai, the chairman of the FCC,   
   announced an investigation into the incident on Twitter. “The FCC will   
   investigate the root cause of the outage and its impact,” he wrote.
