NAD Submits Comments to FCC on Advanced Communications
On November 22, 2010, the NAD, along with other consumer organizations, submitted comments in response to a Public Notice issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) asking questions about "advanced communications." The Twenty-first Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (Accessibility Act), recently passed by Congress, requires accessible advanced communications. This is a summary of the NAD comments.
Earlier this week, the NAD participated in a new working group hosted by the Kennedy Center and Smithsonian about making cultural venues, such as live performance theaters and museums, accessible to deaf and hard of hearing people. The NAD commends the Kennedy Center and Smithsonian for their efforts to ensure accessibility.

The complaint was filed in the United States District Court in Lexington, Kentucky in 2008.
