California Captioning Contract

Hamilton will be the sole provider of California Captioned Telephone Service beginning in June. Hamilton CapTel beat out AT&T and Sprint for the job to give people who are hard of hearing an opportunity to both listen and read what the other party says during a conversation. The Aurora, California-based company will provide some new calling features including telephone captions in both English and Spanish. Financing for the program comes from the Deaf and Disabled Telecommunications Program, a segment of the California Public Utilities Commission.
