Hamilton Relay Backs T-Mobile TTY Petition

Hamilton Relay backed T-Mobile's petition to waive the requirement that text telephone (TTY)-based relay service be capable of communicating with the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) format, in comments posted Tuesday in docket 03-123 (see 2308040034).
