Phone Surcharge Reduced For Relay Program

The Florida Public Service Commission on Tuesday slightly reduced a surcharge imposed on landline phone customers that helps provide telecommunication services to people who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired. In approving a $3.6 million budget for Florida Telecommunications Relay Inc., the regulatory commission reduced the monthly landline surcharge from 10 cents to 9 cents. The non-profit Florida Telecommunications Relay administers the Florida Relay System, which provides basic telecommunication services to people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired. T-Mobile USA, Inc. is the relay provider. The commission said in a news release that use of the relay system has declined as people shift to internet and wireless technologies.
