Today’s issue of the Washington Post covers videophone technology as used in the deaf community. Both direct VP calling and VRS are discussed, and quotes from several deaf persons (including DeafDC.com’s own Rob Rice and Lisa Wilson) are peppered throughout the article.

The title’s “Saying It With Feeling.” Whoo-whoo. Nothing that screams “DEAF” in that headline. And hey, 2.1 million minutes of VRS service in June 2005. That ain’t bad, is it? Now, read the article. With feeling.

By the way, if you haven’t heard yet, Hands On VRS is now giving away iSight webcams for Mac users. Sorenson has launched their own IP-Relay service at www.siprelay.com. The VRS landscape continues to evolve. Now where are those damned Swedish cell videophones that everyone keeps talking about?
