California Lawmakers To Question Verizon Over Data Throttling During Mendocino Complex Fire

SACRAMENTO (CBS13/AP) – A hearing is set to happen at the State Capitol on Friday to figure out why Verizon throttled data to first responders during the Mendocino Complex Fire.
Santa Clara County Fire Chief Anthony Bowden says the throttling made it difficult for crews to coordinate during the initial fire fight.
Verizon acknowledged that it wrongly limited data speed to the Santa Clara County Fire Department after the county reached its monthly data capacity under its internet plan.
