		|  The NY Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) was established in New York State in 1989 
            in cooperation with the NYS Public Service Commission and the NY Telecommunications 
            Industry. The establishment of the intrastate relay service enabled communications for the 
            hearing impaired and/or speech impaired individuals who must use non voice terminals i.e. 
            text telephone. 
 Since July 1997 the telecommunications industry has had a contractual agreement with Sprint 
            Communications, Inc. which currently operates the NY Relay Service and the Targeted 
            Accessibility Fund of York, Inc (TAF) administers this service on behalf of the industry.
