Federal Communications Commission posted a Further Notice of Proposed Rule-Making (FNPRM), a 109-page paper with many questions on how to change VRS. FCC now have these videos in ASL so you can watch them. The links are shown below:

Frequently Asked Questions In ASL Videos:

1. Why is the FCC changing the way VRS providers are compensated?
2. Why does the FCC think a “per user” rate is better than a “per minute” rate?
3. If the FCC adopts a “per user” rate, what happens to people who make lots of VRS calls?  Will providers refuse to handle their calls?
4. What other major changes to VRS is the FCC considering?
5. Can I tell the FCC what I think about the proposed changes?
6. When will these changes take place?
7. Will I notice any changes in my VRS service?
8. What do I do if I have a complaint about VRS?
