[nabs] FW: [acb-l] 21st Century Telecommunications act - comments needed

[Yvonne]

Laura,

Not that I know of, I just got the 2 emails today. When I tried to go to the
website I had no idea of what to do so I made a couple of phone calls and am
waiting to hear back. I will post directions on how to submit comments as
soon as I get them, to both the NABS and ACB lists. I think giving people
simple directions on how to submit comments may help in getting more people
to comment. I am hoping I will hear back yet today since I did speak to a
real person. So everyone collect your thoughts and get them ready to send.

Yvonne

Yvonne,

Do you know if there's an ACB position on this or any guidelines
ACB has set for providing comments?  As in, our state president,
Ray Campbell, provided some examples of things to discuss in a
similar process on accessible cell phones earlier in the fall at
our state convention.  I'll also email him with this to ask.

I'd love it if NABS would get involved and submit comments as
individual members!  They really do listen to what we have to
say, and for anyone concerned with accessibility of video and
telecommunications technology this is your chance to speak out
and be heard on these issues!

This is very important and I hope we all take a few minutes and
let the FCC
know what we think.

According to this weeks Top Tech Tidbits - Volume 285
5) The Federal Communications Commission accepts comments through
Tuesday, 7
December on what advanced services are to be covered by the 21st
Century
Communications
and Video Accessibility Act.

Apparently no comments from blind individuals
have been received as of the time of writing. The archive below
provides all
necessary information for responding:

I wasn't aware of this deadline, I wonder how many others weren't
either?



The American Council of the Blind strives to increase the
independence,
security, equality of opportunity, and to improve quality of life
for all
blind and visually impaired people
