10 Digit Numbering Extended to November 12

In the interest of informing you as soon as possible, attached is a just-released FCC order extending from June 30 to November 12 the deadline by which users of video relay and IP relay services will have to have registered for ten-digit numbers in order to be able to complete non-emergency calls. The extension is being granted to allow additional time for outreach to consumers, as well as to address any unresolved technical issues associated with the transition to ten-digit numbering. We have also attached a Consumer Advisory that explains the transition in more detail.

Persons with hearing and/or speech disabilities who use VRS and/or IP Relay are reminded, if they have not done so already, to complete the process of registering with the VRS or IP Relay default provider of their choice as soon as possible, and no later than November 12, 2009. As part of the registration process, a VRS and/or IP Relay user must register his or her physical location information (Registered Location) with a default provider and, in exchange, obtain a ten-digit geographic telephone number. After November 12, 2009, all VRS and IP Relay users must be registered with a default provider in order to place a non-emergency call through any VRS or IP Relay provider. In addition, after that date, VRS and IP Relay providers will no longer complete calls to a user's former "proxy" or "alias" number that may have been previously obtained from a provider.

CSDVRS Now Known As The Z

CSDVRS Now Known As The Z™

CLEARWATER, Fla. [June 3, 2009] — CSDVRS announced today that it is now known as The Z™. The switch reflects the company’s new platform, video products and services.

CSDVRS originated as a program under Communication Service for the Deaf (CSD), a not-for-profit deaf services agency headquartered in Sioux Falls, S.D. In late 2006, CSDVRS emerged as a private, for-profit video relay service (VRS) and relocated its headquarters to Clearwater, Fla.

“We are extremely grateful to CSD for allowing us to become the nation’s premier VRS provider and being the first to offer 24/7 services, along with Spanish VRS, video mail and personal 800 numbers,” said Sean Belanger, CSDVRS chief executive officer. “With the enormous success of our products and services, we are moving into a new era of video technology. The time has arrived for us to create our own identity, especially with our line-up of The Z™ products. In doing so, we are now able to move towards what we represent: innovation, quality, inclusiveness and commitment.”

Chris Wagner, CSDVRS vice president of marketing, explained that the new name is not only easy for people to remember, it is simpler to convey in sign language, as well. This change is also reflected online. Rolled out as part of the transition, the company’s web site has been redesigned to enhance customer experience. Visitors to The Z™ site (www.zvrs.com) will notice new features and easier navigation that make browsing more enjoyable and user friendly.

Wagner emphasized that, in spite of the changes, The Z™ still offers the same services and products customers have come to appreciate from CSDVRS, such as voice carry-over, Spanish VRS and video mail alerts.

“We continue to be the premier VRS provider, offering choices in videophones and service delivery that are unmatched,” Wagner said. “We strongly believe that every deaf and hard of hearing consumer should have options. That’s why we will continue to enhance our services and pursue even better quality as we grow as a company.”

About The Z™

The Z™ is powered by CSDVRS, LLC, the first video relay services (VRS) provider to offer 24/7 availability, Spanish VRS, video mail and personal 800 numbers. Launched nationally in 2000, CSDVRS was developed by and for deaf and hard of hearing individuals based on feedback from the nation’s deaf and hard of hearing community. Today, the company remains dedicated to that same spirit of innovation and commitment to excellence, continuing to set the industry standard as the nation’s premier VRS provider.

VRS and IP Relay Ten-Digit Number Registration Deadline Advisory‏

Persons with hearing and/or speech disabilities who use VRS and/or IP Relay are reminded, if they have not yet done so, to register with the VRS or IP Relay default provider of their choice as soon as possible, and no later than June 30, 2009. To complete the registration process, a VRS and/or IP Relay user must provide his or her physical location information (Registered Location) to a default provider and, in exchange, obtain a ten-digit geographic telephone number. After June 30, 2009, all VRS and IP Relay users must be registered with a default provider in order to place a non-emergency call through any VRS or IP Relay provider. In addition, after that date, VRS and IP Relay providers will no longer complete calls to a user's former "proxy" or "alias" number that may have been previously obtained from a provider. To ensure delivery of accurate location information to responders in an emergency, VRS and IP-Relay users must provide updated location information to their default provider any time it changes. For more information about this deadline and ten-digit numbering and emergency call handling for VRS and IP Relay service, see the FCC consumer advisories at www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/trstendigit-reminder.html; www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/trstendigit.html; and
