Calling Purple or SnapVRS or CDVRS still involes TRS relay and yet they are blocked access to VP200 Caller ID function when Deaf user use it to make relay call with Sorenson's device with other reply provider.

Follow what I am saying?


And it sound like to me that Sorenson said that since they claim to have VP out first "VP100" so the standard should be set by Sorenson not by other providers and other providers need to follow Sorsenson's standard that they set because they had it out first years ago.

Oh yes I follow you completely!

I just think that the legal documents from both sides use "Point to Point" because that is what FCC calls it. Obviously any call a VP user makes is technically point to point, you cannot call a regular phone with a VP, it doesn't work that way! But they have to differentiate between "calls involving TRS operator" and "calls not involving TRS operator" so they gave it the name Point to Point when really it should be Deaf to Deaf.

I think both sides have a good argument. Which means they both have good lawyers. That's why FCC has judges to figure it out instead of me!
