Sorenson Challenges Monthly VRS Data Collection Request

Sorenson on Monday asked the FCC to direct Telecom Relay Fund administrator Rolka Loube to withdraw its monthly data collection request. Rolka Loube requested in a notice that video relay service providers submit monthly information on "expense data with respect to interpreter wages, research and development, numbering, and field staff expenses," Sorenson said in a letter in docket 03-123. The company didn't reject submitting this information on an annual basis as the commission already established but said a monthly collection "will impose a significant burden on Sorenson, and, presumably, on the other VRS providers."
