Wired: "Deaf Benefit Greatly from SMS"
"Research out of Australian universities on text-based mobile messaging could herald good news for the deaf in the United States -- if cellular carriers can agree to improve interoperability between networks. A joint research project between Australia's Bond and Griffith universities has found the deaf community is a major beneficiary of the mobile text-messaging craze. In Australia, more than 50 percent of the general population sends at least one text message a day. The result is a nearly universal, text-based communications medium that connects the deaf to the hearing world."
