Text version of Gunnar Hellstrom's Power Point Presentation

Most slides had graphics. Those slides where graphics were present are
indicated in this text document.

Slide 1

Accessibility raised to the power of **^3^**

Access opportunities in IP based services.

FCC Summit\

Graphic: Photography of a person signing to her notebook computer with
no wires in a travel environment.

Slide 2

Accessibility raised to the power of **^3\
^**VoIP technology gives us the opportunity to\
improve personal communication

Leave inaccessible voice telephony behind.

Use three media in the calls

Video, with quality for\
signing, lip-reading,\
recognition, feelings, showing...

Text, character-by-character for\
conversation, addresses, numbers,\
spelling...

Voice, for conversation, feelings,...

Satisfy all needs in one universal service in IP with global
interoperability.

Graphic: Text under photograph reads "User interface for three media in
the call"

Computer screen with large window of woman using sign language. She is
wearing a "hands-free" microphone. At the top right corner of the
monitor, there is a smaller window of a man using sign language. At the
bottom of the screen, there are two smaller windows that display the
text of the conversation.

Slide 3

Example with deaf-blind user. •In this case:

--Sign language from the deaf-blind user

--Text back, displayed on braille display

•Many other combinations possible

Graphic: Caption above photograph "Usability verified in Swedish project
2003". Photograph of woman using a computer. View is looking over her
left shoulder, and the computer screen and a small camera is visible.
Attached to the keyboard is a refreshable braille display, which the
woman is using. The screen displays a large window with face and upper
body of a person, smaller window of person using sign language in upper
right corner, and two text windows at the bottom of the screen, the
screen on the left full of text..

Slide 4

Example from communication between deaf and hearing persons

•Text for main conversation\
•Video for acknowledgement, recognition, showing things, feelings\
•Take any other situation and find that the video-text-voice combination
is the solution.

•More value the more widespread it becomes

Graphics: Caption under photograph: 3G communication in video, text and
voice. Photograph of a man using a small hand-held computer, taken from
behind his left shoulder, with the screen of the computer visible. There
is a camera in the upper edge of the screen. The hand-held computer has
a wire that is attached to a wireless phone. The computer screen has the
same characteristics of the screen in Slides 2 and 3.

Slide 5

Personal communications networks for all

A growing accessible conversation network

Graphics: In center, dark blue 'cloud' titled SIP network over internet.
Below this dark blue 'cloud' is a graphic indicating a connection to a
sip server---a SIP registrar for address resolution. To the left of the
dark blue 'cloud' is a series of five yellow boxes.

From bottom to top,

box yellow-1, connection to a LAN, with photos of three computers

box yellow-2, connection to a SIP videophone, SIP phone, and SIP text
phone

box yellow-3, photograph of a PC, titled Private WLAN

box yellow-4, photograph of a PC, titled Public WLAN

box yellow-5, titled 3G, photograph of a PC, wireless phone and PDA

Next to the 5 yellow boxes is one light blue box, titled "Sign Language
Relay Service and Text Relay Service". Photograph of a PC, with
keyboard, hands-free microphone, monitor and camera. On monitor, a sign
language user is visible. This light blue box is connected to the dark
blue 'cloud' AND a purple 'cloud' titled "PSTN".

Next to the light blue box is a series of three tan boxes. Each of the
tan boxes connect to the purple PSTN 'cloud'

From top to bottom

Box tan-1, photograph of a mobile phone, and voice telephone

Box tan-2, photograph of a text telephone

Box tan-3, photograph of a voice telephone and a text telephone, and an
indication of 'emergency services'

Between the dark blue 'cloud' and the purple 'cloud' are two connecting
paths. One path is titled "Voice Gateway" and the other path is titled
"Text Gateway"

Slide 6

But standards must be applied to achieve global interoperability

Good standards exist for the call and the three media.

Promote one preferred set of default standards:

IETF SIP Call control

H.263 Video

T.140/RFC2793 Text

G.723.1 Audio

Use subsets for voice only, text only, voice and text etc.

Good continued standardisation in IETF, ITU, 3GPP, ETSI, TIA ensures
maintained interoperability

Graphic: Photograph of a man using a small hand-held computer, taken
from behind his left shoulder, with the screen of the computer visible.
The hand-held computer has a wire that is attached to a wireless phone.
Hand-held computer screen has the same characteristics of the screens in
Slides 2 and 3.

Slide 7

Put the user in the center\
Same communication for all services

Different terminals, same standardised communication opens for efficient
services for personal needs.

Graphic: Photograph of two women signing into hand-held computer.
Outside photograph, a series of boxes of features, and arrows indicating
the ability to use any of the features needed. Box subjects: text relay
service, video relay service, emergency services, signing users, text
users, Voice VoIP user and gateway. Off of the 'gateway' box, there are
two other boxes titled text telephone (TTY) users, and voice telephone
users.

Slide 8

Join in implementation of accessible personal communication for All !

Without harmonization, the benefits will be missed

The IP revolution is a too good opportunity to be missed.

Graphic: Two photos on top of each other. Top photograph is a man
sitting at a computer. The man is wearing a hands-free microphone,
smiling. Bottom photograph is a computer monitor, and the screen
displaying the same characteristics of the screens in Slides 2 and 3.
