Requires the provider to: (1) notify the IURC regarding the service outage not later than eight days after the start of the service outage; and (2) provide the IURC with updates regarding the service outage at least once every 24 hours until the service outage ends. Requires the IURC to publish the provider's notification on the IURC's Internet web site.
