[Colorado-Talk] Disney Plus Not Accessible to the Blind

[Rob]

I will add that reporting on the big news outlets is showing a big failure
for many users in many ways. I hear of website reportedly down and not even
able to be navigated to at all and reports of the content being less than
HD requiring buffering when the network is otherwise able to stream HD
content. We are keeping tabs on the information because we are looking for
ways to access content with a very soon to be teenager. I appreciate all of
this insight and find that I can be limited at times because I do not use
an Apple device as a primary computing device, I am a windows guy. I shrug
mostly, wish at other times. I am learning to navigate what the
accessibility should look like and what it actually is in real terms for
day to day life. Thanks for the conversations regarding this.
