T-Mobile Fined $17.5 Million Over 911 Outage
A Little Much
I get 911 is important but for people having issues with it for 3 hours, $17.5 is over the top.

Yeah, that's pretty over the top. I'd rather see the residents of the area affected by the outage paid instead of the government. The government will just blow it on something stupid. Pay those affected. 🙂
...
you do realize this is a requirement mandated by the FCC right?
anyways... all this talk about t-mobiles best network commercials and they couldnt even provide 911 🙄

Who cares if it's mandated by the FCC? Doesn't mean they should get all the fine money. The people affected by the outage don't get anything as a result and it all goes to the government coffers. And you don't think other network carriers have outages as well? To say T-Mobile sucks because their 911 went out for 3 hours is a bit naive.
...
To assume a company should proportionally charged from manadated rules is also naive.
...and no I don't know anyone else that had 911 issues that couldn't be solved with roaming

I don't know what you're talking about, but I never said anything about proportionally charged. I said the customers affected should be given the fine money instead of the government getting it all. And there are other companies that have had 911 issues. US Cellular had a 911 issue a couple of years back where people in one city dialing 911 reached some other city's 911 that was like 200 miles away. And there were some people that were harmed as a result of not getting the right 911 center, so it does happen.

Verizon did, it says so on the article. Also, I don't know how big T-Mobile's 911 outage was, but Verizon's lasted for 6 hours and they only got fined $3.4M? https://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.p hp?a=15495
