This document discusses telecommunication relay services (TRS) available in the United States and United Kingdom for deaf and hard of hearing individuals. It notes that the US has a wider range of sophisticated TRS options funded through an independent relay fund, while the UK has more limited services and lack of long-term, stable funding. It promotes the Deaf Access to Alternative Relay Telecommunications campaign which aims to expand TRS in the UK to provide full functional equivalence and access to modern technologies on par with services available in the US.
