The following two paragraphs are the same as in the original 508...



Products that transmit or conduct information or communication must pass
through cross-manufacturer, non-proprietary, industry-standard codes,
translation protocols, formats or other information necessary to provide
the information or communications in a usable format.



Technologies which use encoding, signal compression, format
transformation, or similar techniques must not remove information needed
for access, or must restore it upon delivery.



New language added:



Firewalls, routers, gateways and other products that pass real-time
voice communication must also pass real-time text communication signals
(including mixed voice and real-time text) that are standard for that
technology platform without distortion or error beyond 1%.



Note: Only phones that are passing text signals onto another device e.g.
TTY, would be subject to this provision
