<p>I have a RT streaming job for tomorrow and check out the words that I'm going to be writing:</p>
<p>Methyl Cellosolve acetate</p>
<p>Hexamethyldisilazine</p>
<p>methyl ethyl ketone</p>
<p>N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone</p>
<p>1,1,1-trichlkoroethane</p>
<p>glycol monoethyl ether acetate</p>
<p>cellosolve acetate</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Should be a fun day. At least I know what's coming my way.</p>

<p>I would charge for two RT feeds and not think a thing about it. I do it all the time. If I take out one of my wireless dongles and use it for an attorney, then it's going to be charged. </p>

<p>If that second realtime feed wasn't valuable, they would just have ONE. Of course it's valuable; therefore, you should charge for it. Now ... charge full freight? That's up to YOU. I often make concessions with multiple realtime hookups, especially same-side hookups. I would never in a million years charge a transcript or rough draft fee for a same-side RT hookup, viewing only, but it is valuable and I would charge something for it.</p>

<p>I woldn't charge for 6:09. I think it is before 8:00 a.m. and after 6:00 p.m. I agree with you on the per diem, but a lot of firms don't seem to pay it. Others do. Just hit and miss. The problem is if you complain too much, at least in my case, there are about 20 other reporters standing in line behind me to take my place. You just deal with the fact there is no per diem I guess, at least I have. </p>

<p>I unfortunately don't offer interactive RT (my hats off to my colleagues who write clean enough to make that realtime feed mostly good enough to be useful) but I'd say that YOU PAY YOU GET applies even when multiple lawyers represent the same client are getting the benefit of your RT. How about a sliding scale of regular price for first hookup and a small discount for the second atty representing the same client? (Maybe 30% discount for the second hookup?? not sure about that.

<p>As far as after 6, I also charge a higher page rate for before 9 and after 6. It doesn't happen often but it's on my rate sheet and I use it.</p>
<p>Janiece, good for you for standing your ground on the no attendance. A 5-year relationship came to an end last year for me because of this. It's so disappointing but, again, we have to take care of ourselves. It's only a few agencies that are doing this. Well-run and successful agencies wouldn't even consider it.</p> I know, honey, but it's the s…tag:csrnation.ning.com,2013-05-08:1736041:Comment:12688112013-05-08T19:10:19.656ZYVONNE FENNELLYhttp://csrnation.ning.com/profile/YVONNEFENNELLY

<p>I did a RT streaming job for remote counsel, same office as receiving counsel's in-room realtime. It's two RT feeds for same firm. OMG I spent so much time on the phone setting up the RT streaming company's bogus RT steaming software.

<p>I did a RT streaming job for remote counsel, same office as receiving counsel's in-room realtime. It's two RT feeds for same firm. OMG I spent so much time on the phone setting up the RT streaming company's bogus RT steaming software. Took up too many resources on my computer and had really static-y audio to refer to for the rough. Thank our higher being for watching over me that day; it was nice and slow. Today, 3 business days later, I call them to discuss this issue. They have a newer version (already) to replace that one that (hopefully) will replace this issue.</p>
<p>Q: Should I practice what I preach and bill for two RT feeds? (Good job, going back next week. Will spend time on new dry-run session with new version of RT streaming software) </p>
<p>ps: my shoulders are seizing up just thinking about it.</p>
