IP CTS Providers Ask FCC to Freeze Rate Cut

IP captioned telephone service providers asked the FCC to freeze IP CTS rates before a July 1 reduction, speaking with an aide to acting Chairwoman Rosenworcel, per a filing Thursday in docket 13-24. Hamilton Relay, InnoCaption, ClearCaptions, CaptionCall, MachineGenius and T-Mobile said freezing the $1.42 per minute would let the commission establish “quality standards with less potential for disruptive rate churn.” Avoid using 2020 and pro-forma 2021 cost data when setting new rates, they asked.
