NECA rates
All VRS providers may be getting a reduced reimbursement rate from the NECA fund.
The proposed rate for VRS is $5.92/minute, so it may hurt all VRS providers, so we will see what happens next. http://www.neca.org/wawatch/wwpdf/042605_6.pdf http://www.neca.org/wawatch/wwpdf/042605_5.pdf |

NECA's final decisions rarely follow the recommended rates, if you look at their historical data. In fact, the $5.92 recommended rate for VRS for 2005-2006 could end up being MUCH lower or higher in the final decision for the year.

$5.92 a min is ALOT money, more than enough to cover asses for VRS. I think at the start up, the expeses usually higher and now that vrs has settled with equipment. The more volume calls VRS makes or more traffic on internet access, the lower the cost they would pay. "Wholesale" cost is now in effect for them. So, won't impact them much anyway.

Nightwarrior - see Richard's private message to me below. He said that i insulted him, huh? to me, that is accurate statement that he wont admit. Again, who is this Kim Robinson? He is in dreamland since day 1.
Yeah, why bump this topic when it's four months old? Quote:

Kim Robinson was the president of new Zealand Assn Deaf. And as for 'dreamland' my grandfather and my dad worked there in some point of their military careers. In as much as I'd love to, I've never been a part of dreamland. Richard |

NZ Relay Service
Hi everyone,
Just to clarify a few things here... Richard only provided some ADA information relating to the Human Rights case for a NZ Relay Service. A majority of the Relay Information and support came from Australia and numerous individuals internationally that supported the establishment of the Relay Service case in NZ. Victoria Manning and myself spearheaded the Human Rights Campaign. To be fair to everyone. There is no one due credit to one individual. The credit goes to everyone who assisted to many ways to see such a service here whether it was a small amount or a large amount. I am not the the President of Deaf Assn of NZ, I was only on their Executive Board at that time. I would prefer it if people discontinue the personal insults on each other and get realistic about working together sharing information - technical data - advocating and improving communities Internationally. Personal insults burns communities and individuals, so please consider this when arguing points in a discussion... Kim Robinson |

Kim I am very thrilled to read this message. I am with you 100% when it comes to working together. However, Richard is been a friction almost everywhere for a long time and insulted many folks in AD and other facets of Internet. This is the proof that Richard isnt 100% accurate (example you re not the prez of NZ Association for the Deaf when he said that you were). I can say being on safe side, that he isnt accurate elsewhere. Thanks for clarification. |
