DWCC, CAD-ASC, CNSDB spent considerable time on this document, and even if we hadn’t heard from the CRTC regarding our request to add this supplementary final document to the record, we waited for as long as we could and just went ahead and submitted it.

Note: DWCC could only glean Canada’s TTY and IP Relay numbers from a total of four companies only – see this spreadsheet. DWCC calls for Canada (CRTC) to create annual reports starting in 2015 so we can monitor trends of IP Relay Services and TTY Relay Services, is there really a decline? How do we really know? Is there enough promotion about the IP Relay? As Canadians deserve to be informed and make informed choices.
