I was asked to ponder some questions for this presentation:

1. What is "basic telecommunications" today?

2. What is the role of TTY in today's world?

3. What should the equipment distribution programs do about the increasing diversity of telecommunications-access equipment?

4. Should programs provide equipment that only works with relay or encourage people to be less dependent on relay?

5. Anything new in deaf-blind telecommunications?

6. What is going on with Voice over IP and what does it mean to us?
