Should deaf people have call forwarding?
Purple continues to fight for functional equivalent services by developing new technology and getting the FCC to approve such services.
The latest efforts involve call forwarding. You may remember my previous comments on this issue here.
All comments supports the provision of call forwarding except for Sorenson who questions whether such service is in the public interest.
Read them and judge for yourself.

ADA 20th Anniversary…and new technology in future?
Kelby and Dan went to the ADA 20th Anniversary event hosted by the FCC and the White House. Kelby discusses that event and talks a bit about what the future may bring us in terms of new technology.
Click below for the FCC-produced video that was shown at the event.
Congratulations everyone. We are definitely better off today than we are twenty years ago!
