[Electronics-talk] FW: FW: Phone company for the blind

[Christopher Chaltain]

I haven't looked into this, but when I look at how many inaccessible 
barriers I run into at the different cell phone providers, such as the 
confusing way plans are presented, the tedious on line bills, the 
inability to get at coverage data, the lack of accessible inexpensive 
handset options such as feature phones, the need to get a data plan if 
all I want is an accessible phone and so on, I can see where there may 
be a market for a cell phone company that eliminates these obstacles for 
the blind consumer. Need is a strong word, and we don't need something 
for it to be a viable option in the market place.
