TTY is the current technology for
direct 9-1-1 accessibility

Fading from use in the deaf community
Many have a TTY ONLY for contact with 9-1-1
But no other text technology exists on plain old telephone network OR Voice over IP services
- So it still must be supported along with POTs
- But it’s not enough
