This archive contains material in plain text format to aid anyone 
interested in submitting comments to the Federal Communications 
Commission regarding accessibility of cell and other phone 
technologies to people who are blind, deaf-blind, or have low vision, 
in furtherance of Section 255 of the Communications Act.  Such 
comments are due by the end of Thursday, September 30, 2010.  Initial 
comments have already been filed, and currently, a reply comment 
period is underway.

The files have been named to indicate their content, usually with the 
title of the document or a shortened version of it.  They were 
converted from .doc or .pdf formats to text using Microsoft Word or 
Adobe Reader.

Initial comments, already filed in this proceeding, begin with the 
words "Comments by."  To provide background and context, other 
documents related to FCC policies about wireless or wireline phones 
are also included, such as public notices, press releases, fact 
sheets, reports, and regulations.

The public notice seeking comment in this proceeding is contained in 
the following file:

for People who are Blind, Deaf-blind, or Have Low Vision.txt

Comment Filing System (ECFS), located at
