Google glitch triggers major internet outage

At some point as dependent as we are towards having broadband, how long will it be before they are treated like telco's back in the day where if you had a major outage short of a cable cut, you got fined by the FCC? I remember a Sprint switch tech did this one night and caused the switch to drop 30k calls, and blocked any calls from being made for like 15 minutes. Cost Sprint something in the northern 3 figures for that oops.
