Hamilton Relay Gets Conditional Cert for Automatic IP CTS

The FCC Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau granted Hamilton Relay conditional certification to provide IP captioned telephone service on a fully automatic basis, said an order Wednesday in docket 03-12 (see 2204140058). The certification was granted "for a period not to exceed two years" and is conditioned on Hamilton verifying that "its actual provision of service to registered users meets or exceeds the commission's [telecom relay service] minimum standards," the order said. The bureau also granted Hamilton a partial waiver to amend the language of its consumer self-certification because some calls would be handled without the involvement of communications assistants.
