A panel of experts and advocates will discuss mobile communications products available today that are used by deaf and hard of hearing people and what kind of products we can expect to see in the future. There will be discussions about challenges deaf and hard of hearing people are facing today in mobile communications (i.e. interoperability of video conferencing services) as well as what problems we may experience in the future (i.e. data caps).

Access to high-quality video calls should not be rocket science. But at present, getting the best quality can be an exercise in frustration for many users. Sometimes two videophones do not even connect to each other – they are not interoperable. We explore how and why video call problems happen and what can be done to improve video quality. We also explore the big changes that are coming to video calls in the near future. More and more people use mainstream video functionality, and this opens up new and exciting opportunities for interoperable video calls
