I don't people should judge her as no one know what it like to be in the spotlight all the time.
After she's buried, things will cool down..that's how it is. She has millions of fans. When we die, no one will know.

Of all the people around W.H. over the years you think there would be least a few people smart enough to see what's going on instead of standing by doing basically nothing to help.

Just to drive a point that there isn't any.

Give it another 3 to 5 years and perhaps we'll see live captioning via the web would be as common over television.

Okay, cool, but you didn't have to be coy about it.

Anyway, it's going to be less than 3-5 years. The 21st Century Communications Act has already mandated that all online broadcasts of material originally prepared for television or material that is being streamed live on television must also be CC on the web. Also, I believe it is mandating that all online video players have the ability to decode captioning.

Only problem is that it has provided quite a bit of time for online streaming outlets and video player developers to meet the regulations. Far too much time, IMO. I believe they have until the end of next year to get fully on board.

So, she's having a public funeral...like Michael Jackson had a public funeral as well.

It makes me wonder if any of our US troops ever had a public funeral as well.

Yes, you're right. It's private for those actually attending inside the church. It's public in the sense that it's televised.

I'm sure the family appreciated that. TCS and I have been involved in many veterans' funerals and ceremonies, and the families have always expressed much gratitude for those who show their respects to their fallen ones.

Until it becomes a *common* feature in all aspect of video programming over the internet (live and taped) it will take about 3 to 5 years from now. I am aware of that bill. They never gave a due date when this must be done by other than it is mandated that it'd be done. It's been almost 1 1/2 year since it was signed. Again, it'll take awhile to get this up and running for a variety of reasons until it becomes a *common* captioning feature over the internet.

Here's C-SPAN (Congress Passes Payroll Tax Cut Legislation | C-SPAN) go watch it. Do you see a caption button or that it's captioned? Why not?

Bobby Brown left Whitney's funeral early b/c he felt disrespected. Whitney's family and friends need to learn that Whitney did it to herself.

Granted, I have not read the bill in it's entirety, but I'm pretty sure I caught a part about all broadcasts and streaming players that are originally meant for television. . . having three years from the passage of the bill, which was about 16 months ago. I certainly hope there will be an enforcement unit to the bill and companies like Netflix, NBC, etc. will start getting fined as soon as they pass the deadline. Believe me, one fine, and they will focus enough resources to get everything implemented in less than a month. It really is not that complicated; they are just not focusing any resources on the problem because we deaf/hoh make up such a small segment of the viewers.

BTW, C-SPAN is not a government entity. They have no incentive to start captioning. If you go to PBS.com, you'll see that they've already switched over to a CC-ready player and have begun encoding most of their online content.

The whitehouse.gov stream is always CC, btw.

Yeah, but you have many of the .gov sites that have live streaming are not captioned even the archived videos, too. There are tons of archive .gov videos out there that are not even captioned and it'll take awhile to get them captioned. Just like the tv shows where many in the beginning were not captioned and it took years until you finally saw rerun shows become captioned. It's a matter of playing catch up. Give it 3 to 5 years. It's coming.

As for C-SPAN, it doesn't matter. The bill pertains to videos shown over the internet to be captioned.

I am mostly concerned about live broadcasts and current release stuff, particularly on news websites like CNN and places that show my favorite shows, like Comedy Central. I'm not too concerned about older, archived stuff, but it will be nice to have all that stuff eventually encoded as well.

Long wait or short, this is still a great thing for us. Can we thank Obama for this?

About time, technology made it possible to allow captioning.
