A Microsoft executive said that countries need to develop new trade rules to govern the movement of electronic data across borders as more software services are provided over the internet. Currently, different countries have conflicting laws regarding how long data must be stored or erased which makes it difficult for companies to locate data centers. The Obama administration is examining existing trade rules regarding information and communication technology to identify potential barriers.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Specialised Telecommunications
Assistance Programs
Equipment for deaf blind and others
8. Relay Services in USA & UK
In USA, at least 25 Relay Service companies providing
multiple services - web, traditional, and video
– 5 are deaf-led companies
In UK, there are 4 VRS providers:
o Sign Video: deaf-led social enterprise, UK
o Sign Translate: Charity, UK
o Sign On Screen – Deaf Connections, Charity, Scotland
o Sign-Now, Company, Scotland
BUT…………………..
9. What do we have now in UK
(or not……) ?
o We dial 16 digits number to call via Text
Relay
- Hearing people get confused….
o Relay Conferencing Captioning
- We don’t have it ….
o Captioned Telephone (CapTel)
- It stopped 3 years ago…..
10. And….
o VRS services are not available 24/7/356
o VRS is limited to those with Access to
Work budgets or those can afford to pay
o No healthy competition in the marketplace
to provide top-notch services
11. Numbers in UK?
• Approx 160,000 +
Deaf BSL users
• Approx 9 million are deaf &
hard of hearing
Are they getting a good relay
telecommunication service now?
The answer is NOT YET….
12. What we as consumers
can do about it?
Deaf Access to Alternative Relay
Telecommunications (DAART) – a
new consumer group set up in
September 2010 who firmly believes
that the TRF is the way forward & to
complement the work of
TAG
13. What do we want?
DAART is open to suggestions for
expansion of services providing they
meet the following conditions:
Sustainable long term funding
Fully functional equivalent TRS
Set up an independent Telephone Relay
Fund (TRF) for management &
development of a modern TRS
Contracts be a minimum of 3 – 5 years
14. Also…..
Services are available 24/7/365
Must keep up with technology developments
Ensure all deaf , deafened, deaf blind & hard
of hearing community members can benefit
No more than the cost of normal phone
call
15. And finally…..
0.5% funds be generated from telecom
industry or by any other means
Appropriate terminal equipment to
access different types of relay
services
Consumers as stakeholders must be
involved in the entire process
