Original Content for Mobile Phones

I just posted this message to the captioning discussion list and am re-posting it here because of its importance:

Reported in today's Washington Post:
"CBS To Make a Soap for the Smaller Screen"

And do you think that original content is going to be accessible to the deaf?? NOPE!

Not only do we now have to worry about original content being placed on the web without captions, we now have to worry about missing out on ORIGINAL content broadcast only on mobile phones!

Of course the captions, if there were any, would be too small and difficult for deaf people to read on cell phones! We need to pressure the FCC or Congress to mandate that any original content produced for cell phones MUST also be posted on the web by the cell phone company in a captioned format. People would have to enter a username/password combination in order to see the content. I don't have any other ideas for getting deaf people access to this new source of broadcast media.

By golly,I am deaf and I can use a cell phone with close captioning. I have a close caption telephone in my home - too large to carry. The screen is 2" x 4". It is easy to read. The print coould behalf size andwould still be easy to read. The company that makes close caption pones is "CAPTEL" Find them on the internet

Gosh thank you for posting. I use sprint captel and yes you can surf to it on several phones but only the apple iphone really connects usably however it is also one of the few cell phones NOT hearing aid compible. an Jason we all can make use of technology Just because you are a wiseass hearing person doesnt mean we cant all take advantage of tech. I am profoundly hard of hearing. I use a service called www.phonetag.com and it transcribes my voice mail to text and sends them to me. Gosh I guess a deaf person does need a cell phone??? Ya suppose? To the originator of this post thank you. Keep up the good work.
