Bob,
Until the first of July, I was making local calls, should I fill it out still? What's the FCC anyway?

> The FCC is encouraging me to gather information on a new free telephone

> either with AAC or their own voice. Video-Assisted Speech-to-Speech (VAS)
> will allow you to go to a website and signal a Communication Assistant (CA)
> that you want to make a phone call. Your computer will need a microphone and
> a video camera. You and the CA will see and/or hear each other; s/he will
> watch you type on your device or be able to use visual cues from your lips,
> facial expressions, etc. and will wait patiently, so that you will have
> plenty of time to type or speak. The CA will ensure that the other party
> waits until you signal "go ahead" and keep them on the line before they
> begin to respond. The advantage of VAS over traditional STS is the visual
> input that you and the CA receive from each other.
