Verizon shares VZ, +0.36% are down 27.3% so far in 2022 through Wednesday, which would mark their worst annual percentage decline on record, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The performance is notable as shares of Verizon’s main peers have fared significantly better over the course of 2022: AT&T Inc.’s stock T, -0.22% is down just 2.3% thus far, while T-Mobile US Inc.’s TMUS, +0.43% is up 22.0% and on track for its sixth double-digit annual gain in the past eight years. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/verizon-stock-heads-for-worst-year-on-record-and-rival-at-t-has-an-extraordinary-lead-11671661987 -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies)

Police departments in various cities reported the outage, with customers unable to dial 911 from their cellphones. Police took to social media to offer alternative, non-emergency phone numbers in case of emergency, though that meant dispatchers were unable to see callers’ locations. Although the issue was resolved late Wednesday, it was unclear what caused the widespread outage. Ajit Pai, the chairman of the FCC, announced an investigation into the incident on Twitter. “The FCC will investigate the root cause of the outage and its impact,” he wrote. https://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2017/03/09/fcc-to-investigate-at-t-911-outage -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies)
