If we're in agreement that agencies can move beyond Baudot/TTY as long as
there is a gateway for
TTY users, how about the next step: setting a sunset date for TTY
compatibility, even via gateway.
For example, if we require a gateway, and the volume on that gateway keeps
dropping (as it will),
couldn't we really say that after it drops below a certain level we begin to
pull the plug?

I understand that this proposal may be contentious.
