How is Sorenson VRS funded?

All VRS companies are funded through the same program as traditional Telecommunication Relay Service (TRS). Funds are made available by a federal law, the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires functional equivalency in telecommunications access. Sorenson Communications is reimbursed for the minutes of Sorenson VRS calls that are interpreted. Sorenson Communications is not reimbursed for equipment that is supplied, including videophones and routers, or installation and service of that equipment.
