On November 22, 2016, the Federal Communications Commission announced the tentative agenda for its open meeting on Thursday, December 15, 2016.
At the December meeting, the Commission plans to consider a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to help achieve the transition from TTY technology to a reliable and interoperable means of providing real-time text (RTT) communication over wireless Internet protocol-enabled networks and services. RTT allows text to be sent immediately as it is being created, enabling communications to flow back and forth in the same manner as voice communications.
