As the Verizon outage continues, a US senator says he’s preparing a bill to require mobile carriers and internet service providers to compensate affected consumers after significant downtime.
In a tweet, Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-New Mexico) wrote, “I’m working on legislation that would require cable, internet, and phone companies to provide pro-rated refunds when outages last for hours at a time. If you pay for a service, that’s what you should be getting.
