FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PSC SETS HEARING DATES FOR
911 OUTAGE INVESTIGATIONS
Lincoln, December 6, 2023- The Nebraska Public Service
Commission (PSC) has set hearing dates in separate
investigations into service outages affecting 911, involving
telecommunication carriers Lumen (911-075/PI248) and
Windstream (911-076/PI 249).
The hearing into the Windstream investigation will be held
in the Commission hearing room, beginning at 9:00 a.m.,
on Wednesday, December 20.
The hearing into the Lumen investigation will be held in the
Commission hearing room, beginning at 9:30 a.m., on
Thursday, January 4.
Online access to both hearings will be available. Information
on how to connect online can be found in the calendar item
for each hearing on the homepage of the PSC website.
The investigations seek to determine the cause and scope of
the outages, why redundancy required failed and a solution
to prevent such events from happening again.
Commission Chair Dan Watermeier said, “The hearings are
being held so that Commissioners can ask questions and get
answers directly from the carriers involved in these outages.
Any decision regarding the investigations will be made at a
later date.” ###
