Comments Filed with FCC on Access to IP-Related Services

June 1st, 2004

The Telecommunications Access RERC (a partnership between the Trace Center and Gallaudet University) submitted extensive comments to the Federal Communications Commission related to the need to formally mandate accessibility of IP-enabled communication services (e.g., Voice over IP). This will ensure that people with disabilities, including older Americans, can realize the significant benefits that such services will provide.
