Ofcom, the UK's communications regulator, is investigating BT following a nationwide Disruption to the 999 emergency call system on Sunday. The disruption caused 999 calls to fail to connect due to a technical fault. BT had to use a temporary back-up system, which emergency services said was not as effective in tracing callers. Ofcom's investigation will determine the facts surrounding the fault and whether BT failed to comply with its regulatory obligations. BT is expected to share the findings of its own investigation with the government, Ofcom, and emergency services on Thursday.
