This page is the text proposed in the Nov Plenary Meeting.

Go to the Oct 26 Draft of this Provision

Go to the Sandbox of this Provision

Text proposed at the November plenary:
The following paragraphs are agreed to.
Technologies which use encoding, signal compression, format transformation, or similar techniques must not remove information needed for access, or must restore it upon delivery.

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 in the United States for that technology platform without distortion or error beyond 1%.

The first paragraph is still being discussed.

Text from Oct 26 Draft:
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 version proposed by Sun and ITI:
Technologies which use encoding, signal compression, format transformation, or similar techniques must not remove information needed for access, or must restore it upon delivery.

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 in the United States for that technology platform without distortion or error beyond 1%.

Also rename the provision to: Telecommunications Information Pass Through
