Emergency services. You can't call an ambulance via Zoom. Even if 911 supported Zoom, Zoom probably won't support 911 because they don't want to be held liable if people die because of a Zoom outage.
- imgabe 6y agoIs the phone company liable if there's an emergency and the phone system is down?

To resolve the dispute, both companies also entered into a Compliance Plan. https://www.beyondtelecomlawblog.com/fcc-fines-companies-for-911-outage/ https://www.beyondtelecomlawblog.com/fcc-fines-companies-for...
