More on Captioning Advocacy
By Joe Gordon
Below are listed various ways for submitting
a complaint to the FCC. There are two types of complaints:
A formal complaint -- this involves litigation with
the use of an attorney.
An informal complaint -- which is what
we as consumers usually would do.
When a consumer files a complaint with the FCC, the
FCC will contact the entity the complaint is filed
against and a reply is expected within 30 days.What
areas are handled by the FCC for complaints? I list
the primary ones below.
Closed captioning on TV
Telecommunications relay service
Hearing aid compatible wireline phones with amplification
Captioning on TV when there is an emergency situation
