Telecommunications Products (1194.23) part of Section 508

Good morning,

Didn't get much sleep so I hope this question makes sense.

I've always understood the Telecommunications Products (1194.23) part of
Section 508 to be focused on the actual telecommunication products
themselves. So companies creating the products must make them so they pass
all the guidelines under this section.

Does this also include the use of telecommunication products? For instance
if someone (non-government worker) is working on a U. S. government project
where they are calling people to conduct surveys for needs assessments --
does that fall under this particular section?

Does conducting virtual meetings using telephones fall under this section?

Thanks,

Dona
