On Wednesday February 6 2013 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) held a Workshop on Network Resiliency at Brooklyn Law School. Organized by Henning Schulzrinne, the FCC’s Chief Technical Officer, the workshop focused on the lessons learned from both 9-11 and Superstorm Sandy. It was a full day event. The venue, Brooklyn Law’s Forchelli Center, afforded sweeping views of New York Harbor, which brought an added piquancy to the proceeding. The event was webcast via the Internet Society Chapters Webcasting Channel with real-time captioning.

FCC announcement
Will it be captioned in real time? I hope so because FCC is a federal agency and has to follow its own law to make media captioned.
I have already enquired, and am awaiting confirmation. On other events I have seen they just have ASL in the room.
It’s good to provide ASL services for events, but they do not benefit 98% of deaf and hard of hearing people who don’t sign.
Thanks for the inquiry about real time captioning.
