The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is preparing to take enforcement action against AT&T for a data outage in February that blocked 92 million phone calls.

The FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau referred the matter, which occurred Feb. 22 and prevented 25,000 911 calls from being completed, to the agency’s Enforcement Bureau, the FCC said.
