> This is an urgent need for your advocacy!  The FCC proposal to change rate 
> of a unique relay service will be put at risk of losing the services that 
> our diversed membe!s truly rely on to empower their communication needs.
>  Attached are two filings by Sprint regarding FCC’s new lower rate for 
> IP-Relay.  Sprint filed a petition requesting waiver from this lower rate. 
> Sprint stated that they cannot afford to run IP-Relay with this low rate.
> Here what you can do is file letter of support for Sprint’s petition.
> Remember this is the only relay service accessible for us who are 
> DeafBlind.
> A simple letter nothing fancy in Word format and file it, Link to file 
> your comment below.  Deadline is April 8, 2019. Put in Docket #DA 19-223
