		<description><![CDATA[The comment cycle for the FCC&#8217;s 11-184 NPRM is now over. It was a comprehensive rule-making that promises the reshape the VRS industry and promises to close an ugly chapter in the brief history of TRS. I don&#8217;t know what will happen next. The whole thing reeks of regulatory fiat. In the NPRM itself, the [...]]]></description>

A Modest Proposal If the FCC really wants to eliminate 99% of the waste, fraud, and misuse within some participants in the VRS industry, all it has to do is to lower the per-minute reimbursement rate down to a dollar-something a minute. Problem solved! Oh- The [...]]]></description>

A Proposed Solution &#8211; The Power of the Monthly Nut The VRS industry is an intensely competitive field dominated by one provider. The lesser providers have enormous pressure to make their &#8216;monthly nut&#8217;, i.e., to cover their expenses, and hopefully make a profit. Some individual(s) and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you haven&#8217;t read Part III, please do so. Granted, it was an uncomfortable read. Talking about elephants is not an easy task. This proposed per active-user reimbursement scheme does not take into account the economies of scale present in the VRS industry. There has been some debate on this issue, notably Sorenson&#8217;s assertions that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, and seemingly out of left field, the FCC is floating a VRS &#8216;per active-user compensation mechanism&#8217; in lieu of the current tiered per-minute reimbursement scheme. Preliminary discussions have taken place among the FCC and industry participants and key stakeholders via ex parte meetings. The FCC may even elevate the idea to a formal NPRM [...]]]></description>
