Okay this is getting a little bit carried away here.. First of all - Sorenson does NOT record any videos or whatsoever. That is indicated in the agreement and etc. Some people are getting a bit paranoid here. Yes, Sorenson has become a monopoly - they are the leading market here but it is because they INVEST the time and the effort and dedication to improve technology. Don't get me wrong I think CSD is doing a great job, but they dont have the technology to really keep up. There is MORE to the service than just the interpreters, you need the technology to sell it. And you know, to say that Sorenson should unblock other VRS - how would HOVRS feel if people got free VP from HOVRS and used Sorenson's interpreters if they were better. HOVRS will lose money, same with CSD. And the VP-100 were designed for Sorenson - Sorenson I am assuming must have worked out a deal with DLINK - so why doesn't HOVRS and CSD do the same? But in serious note, when you get the device for free - you should be grateful. I have alot of friends who work for CSD (I have family who works for CSD), and I support them. But I do use the Sorenson VRS - because I can't afford blurry pictures when I use the CSD VP. I dont get blurry pictures using Sorenson VP. Point is being here - you get something free they shouldnt "HAVE" to let you use other interpreters. You can always get a DLINK from any of the other providers if you want to use them.
