VRS technology for the UK deaf community?

Should the UK deaf community be given access to VRS (Video Relay Service) technology? In the USA, there is a levy charged on all mobile telecom bills to fund the provision of the VRS network, so video interpreting is available to the deaf at the cost to them of a normal phone call. Would the general UK public object to paying 1p extra per month on their mobile bills to fund this worthwhile and essential facility??
American VRS giant Sorenson Communications Inc. are launching a PR campaign to raise awareness of the poor communication facilities for deaf people in this country, no doubt with the intention of creating a new and profitable market for themselves!! Whilst their motives are no doubt money-oriented, the end result could be the opening up of new opportunities for deaf people and a greater access for them into the mainstream "hearing" community.
I'm sure that we all agree that this service could prove invaluable to tens of thousands of people in this country, but should this be something that should be brought in by a US corporation (who would profit from the revenue raised!!) or would our own government or perhaps a UK deaf charity be a more suitable organisation to provide this service and reap any benefits??
