FCC Orders Waiver Extensions to Support TRS During COVID-19

The FCC extended waivers to help telecom relay service and video relay service providers offer quicker access to subscribers amid concerns over longer wait times during COVID-19 (see 2005080034), in an order Thursday. Two renewed waivers plus two new ones, including allowing registered VRS users to make calls to the U.S. from abroad during the national emergency, are all through June 30.
