I think it's both a lack of awareness, lack of demand and a lack of funding, up here in Canada. There is a telephone relay service, but I don't think it's very good. In the US there are what, appx 8% hard of hearing and 2% Deaf? That's several millions of you guys! Up here in Canada the same percentages only equate to just over half of one million. So I can see why they are reluctant to expand up here.

Which is funny because I work for Nordia in Montreal, Quebec, Canada... we do California Relay as well as i711.com......
