Uhhh.. you are wrong.. It not only Sorenson. It is also HOVRS problem too but not for CSDVRS.
1. Both Sorenson and HOVRS provided the devices are free while CSDVRS doesn't due profit treat as equal function of living.
2. About the CSDVRS and HOVRS question as you hope that won't happen? Well, you are wrong. The HOVRS customer care/representative say to me and clear... "Same idea of Sorenson, you use our VRS service and then we will give you MVP the more you use same thing with VP200." Why in the world of business they are talk about Sorenson. Where is Hand-On??
Excuse me, I can make the choice to either MVP or VP200 and the Z. The impact their business is the telephone number that apply to one default service. I not okay with that that should add some rules, it should apply to one VRS instead of multi-VRS telephone number. For example; if I want HOVRS and nothing else and that should add on FCC. Yes, it should limited due waste fund if that telephone number never used...
3. Sorenson make a lot easier but about lock thing. Did you ask them why? Yes to prevent and plus... what interesting me is that access code, if nothing happen mean that my videophone isn't connection. If it become successful and allow me controlled that mean my videophone is function by internet.
4. The impact will invloved the VRS money to paid the telephone for us by what FCC say so. Image that... if I got MVP and I decide want use Sorenson VRS as my default. If I have VP200, I want set default the HOVRS or the CSDVRS. The Hand-On is limited not like Sorenson due fund in Sorenson's expess.
5. The big issue, the IP Address is still there no matter what! For example; the other VRS doesn't have same benefit what Sorenson offer us. Such as that Sorenson videophone can handle by ip address update itself. When you log into the HOVRS account, have you notice that asked for IP Address to update. NO-IP Address is not solution for anything! Reason; no computer... While the Sorenson videophone, I am talking about both VP100 and the VP200 does update itself the IP Address.
6. The most important is 911, friendly, and easy to use... Again, I don't give a damn "You got a purple? You got purple number?" or "WHOOOOAAA! FAST CONNECTION!" or "We are provide the best service." Most important is read the fine print of agreement with VRS that they provide you the equirement even it free or charge. Believe it or not, the CSDVRS agreement is that if you buy the Z device, you are not "ALLOW" to resold or selling. Same idea with SNAPVRS provided OJO a free, but you will paid if that OJO damaged.
7. Sorenson isn't out of money. If you research their background business isn't same as another VRS out there. HOVRS is under Go America... I don't personally support Go America due Wyndtell or Deafwireless. Go America promises are worthless...
8. Don't blame the VRS due the interpreter shortage, it is our FAULT... because they need support their own living but without work and waste their study skill to become interpreter. Right now, the VRS is contact the college or other that invloved with technology such as VRS. Interest part, some interpreter HATE VRS.. reason, they don't want deal with technology which its interest...
9. I rather Interpreter, Employee and the customer are happies. Without the happy, there will no bridge between the communties...
