Dump TTY in favor of IPtext?br(for emergency and everyday telecom)
This has been suggested by both the telecom industry and by many deaf consumers.
One Big Issue
-
TTY is only thing that works on analog phone lines. (IPtext does not)
-
Until everyone is VoIP including rural and low income --TTY will be around.
-
However, on IP networks
-
IP text has so many advantages that it should be standardized on and should be only form of text on IP networks
-
Change TTY to IPtext at the boundaries
