The Wireless RERC filed reply comments in the FCC’s proceeding in the matter of Advanced Communication Provisions of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 [CG Docket No. 10-213]. Comments addressed various sections of the proceeding, including defining Advanced Communication Service, the rules of construction, and the accessibility of information content. However, the main thrust of the Wireless RERC reply comments focused on ensuring that there is no technology that ends up falling outside the scope and intent of the Act; that all accessibility options are exhausted before a manufacturer determines that accessibility is not achievable, and that embracing universal design elements throughout all manufacturing stages is the optimal way of achieving accessibility for all.
