This letter lays out how the Commission should efficiently and justly continue to implement the Martha Wright Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act. The actions the Commission should take include: (1) adopting permanent rate caps on incarcerated people’s communications services (IPCS); (2) collecting data regarding IPCS video costs and other aspects of the marketplace; (3) endorsing the view expressed by the United Church of Christ Media Justice Ministry and NCLC that the Commission has the authority to address video quality issues; and (4) support the Disability Coalition’s petition for reconsideration seeking an FCC decision that human communications assistants must be available using Internet Protocol Captioned Telephone Services.
