We reiterate our conclusion in the Internet-based TRS Order that an Internet-based TRS user's CPE should directly provide necessary routing information to the Internet-based TRS user's default provider. We further clarify that rule 64.611(e) means that an Internet-based TRS provider's CPE that is being used with a default provider other than the one that issued that CPE must automatically connect with the new default provider just as it did with the previous default provider that provided the CPE. In this situation, the user should not have to manually dial the default provider first, and

Regardless of whether Sorenson or any other iTRS provider assigns toll free numbers ``automatically,'' we agree with the consumer groups that the widespread assignment of toll free numbers in addition to local numbers continues to cause problems for iTRS users. Therefore, based on the record and consistent with our proposal in the Notice, we revise section 64.611 to prohibit iTRS providers from assigning or issuing toll free numbers to users. We expect that requiring an iTRS subscriber to pay for his or her toll free number, and to transfer an already assigned number to a toll free service provider or Responsible Organization (RespOrg) should the subscriber want to keep it, will significantly reduce the number of toll

One proposal would be to define, for purposes of marketing and outreach compensation, the terms ``VRS user'' and ``new-to-category VRS user.'' For example, a ``VRS user'' could be defined as ``as an individual that has registered with a VRS provider as described in section 64.611 of our rules.'' This definition is consistent with our definition of ``Registered Internet-based TRS User,'' but distinguishes ``VRS users'' from the larger universe of Registered Internet-based TRS Users to reflect the changes we propose to make to the VRS program in this Further Notice. ``New-to-category VRS user'' could be defined as ``a VRS user that has never previously registered with

  • to create an industry standard that will ``enable each provider to accept routing information delivered by devices distributed by another provider.'' We deny the Petition for Reconsideration. We reiterate our conclusion in the Internet-based TRS Order that an Internet-based TRS user's CPE should directly provide necessary routing information to the Internet-based TRS user's default provider. We further clarify that rule 64.611(e) means that an Internet-based TRS provider's CPE that is being used with a default provider other than the one that issued that CPE must automatically connect with the new default provider just as it did with the previous default provider that provided the CPE. In this situation, the user should not have to manually dial the default provider first, and

See 2000 TRS Order, 15 FCC Rcd at 5152-54, paras. 21-27. See 47 C.F.R. � 64.611(b). Commission rules define the VRS provider with whom a user registers as that user's ``default provider.'' The user then may choose to place all his VRS calls through that provider or dial-around that provider to place calls with other VRS providers. See 47 C.F.R. � 64.611(a)(1).

Section 64.611 is amended by redesignating paragraphs (e) and (f) as paragraphs (f) and (g), adding a new paragraph (e) as follows and amending paragraph (g) as follows: **** (e) Toll Free Numbers. A VRS or IP Relay provider: (1) May not assign or issue a toll free number to any VRS or IP Relay user. (2) That has already assigned or

  • order to receive one.'' Regardless of whether Sorenson or any other iTRS provider assigns toll free numbers ``automatically,'' we agree with the consumer groups that the widespread assignment of toll free numbers in addition to local numbers continues to cause problems for iTRS users. Therefore, based on the record and consistent with our proposal in the Notice, we revise section 64.611 to prohibit iTRS providers from assigning or issuing toll free numbers to users. We expect that requiring an iTRS subscriber to pay for his or her toll free number, and to transfer an already assigned number to a toll free service provider or Responsible Organization (RespOrg) should the subscriber want to keep it, will significantly reduce the number of toll

  • not previously able to access VRS because, for example, they could not afford broadband Internet access? One proposal would be to define, for purposes of marketing and outreach compensation, the terms ``VRS user'' and ``new-to-category VRS user.'' For example, a ``VRS user'' could be defined as ``as an individual that has registered with a VRS provider as described in section 64.611 of our rules.'' This definition is consistent with our definition of ``Registered Internet-based TRS User,'' but distinguishes ``VRS users'' from the larger universe of Registered Internet-based TRS Users to reflect the changes we propose to make to the VRS program in this Further Notice. ``New-to-category VRS user'' could be defined as ``a VRS user that has never previously registered with

  • IP Relay verification requirements. The prohibition against temporary authorization of IP Relay users that we now adopt requires that until an IP Relay provider verifies a new IP Relay user in accordance with the Commission's standards as set forth in the Commission's rules and requirements, it will not be permitted to deem such user as ``registered'' for purposes of section 64.611(b) of the Commission's rules, and will be prohibited from: (1) handling the user's IP Relay calls other than 911 emergency calls; (2) assigning the user a ten-digit number; or (3) provisioning such number to the iTRS Directory. We further expect default providers to periodically review the ten-digit numbers that they place in the iTRS numbering directory, for the purpose of
