SALT LAKE CITY, UT — (Marketwire) — 05/07/12 — Sorenson Communications®, the nation-s leading provider of Video Relay Services (VRS) for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals who use sign language to communicate, applauded today-s Senate confirmation of Ajit Pai and Jessica Rosenworcel to serve on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

As Americans enjoy the benefits of broadband services and other technological developments, this statutory mandate has become more important than ever to the deaf and hard-of-hearing.
Mike Maddix, Director of Government and Regulatory Affairs for Sorenson Communications, commented: “Sorenson is pleased that the FCC is now fully staffed with commissioners. We congratulate the two new commissioners, Ajit Pai and Jessica Rosenworcel, and look forward to working with them on important issues related to relay services for the deaf and hard-of-hearing.”
