A Sioux Falls-based nonprofit is encouraging Congress to keep deaf people in mind while drafting laws that regulate emerging technology.
Communication Service for the Deaf is one of 160 groups participating in the Coalition of Organizations for Accessible Technology.
The group has offered amendments to the Communications Act that would make sure disabled people are not left behind as digital and Internet Protocol technologies develop.
CSD said that among the proposed changes are discounts in broadband service for low-income video relay service users and guarantees that closed-captioning will extend to Internet-based television programming and Webcasts.
