FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler proposed to colleagues a rule requiring closed captioning for online video clips, he said in a blog post Friday (http://fcc.us/1ytHmBX). “Those who hear with their eyes should not be disadvantaged in their ability to access video information on the Internet.” As expected (CD June 18 p10), the IP clips caption rule would be part of a July FCC meeting. Wheeler said the meeting would have “Access to the Underserved: Keeping Up with the Times” as a theme.
