| 05-20133 | Reminder That Video Relay Service (VRS) Provides Access to the Telephone System Only and Cannot Be Used as a Substitute for “In-Person” Interpreting Services or Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) | Notice | In this document, the Commission reminds Video Relay Service (VRS) providers, consumers, and businesses that VRS cannot be used as a substitute for "in-person" interpreting services or for Video Remote Interpreting (VRI). The Commission will continue to carefully scrutinize the provision and use of VRS to ensure that it is being used only as a means of accessing the telephone system, not as a substitute for VRI or as a means to gain free "in-person" interpreting services. Also, in this document, the Commission encourages persons requiring interpreting services and providing interpreting services, as well as VRS providers, to report any improper use of VRS to the Commission so that it may ensure that the Interstate Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) Fund is compensating only legitimate VRS calls. The Commission continues to closely monitor alleged instances of the wrongful use of VRS, and will take whatever enforcement action is necessary and appropriate against such misuse. | 2005-10-12 | 2005 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/10/12/05-20133/reminder-that-video-relay-service-vrs-provides-access-to-the-telephone-system-only-and-cannot-be | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-10-12/pdf/05-20133.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | In this document, the Commission reminds Video Relay Service (VRS) providers, consumers, and businesses that VRS cannot be used as a substitute for "in-person" interpreting services or for Video Remote Interpreting (VRI).
