FCC VRS Reform Rulemaking Needs Your Comments!

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed new rules and asked for suggestions on how to improve Video Relay Services (VRS). The NAD first found out that the FCC was considering making reforms to VRS last summer. We have been working diligently along with other Consumer Groups representatives, to let the FCC know our concerns about possible changes to VRS and also improvements we would like to see. (Instructions on how to file at the bottom of the page).
The rulemaking has four key areas for reforms:

  • TRS Broadband Pilot Program (TRSBPP)
  • Better Technical Standards for VRS
  • Change from a Per-Minute to a Per-User Reimbursement System
  • Improvements to VRS Quality
