On April 29, 2013, the FCC released a Report and Order to implement section
718 and part of section 716 of the Communications Act.  Both of these
sections were added to the Communications Act by the Twenty-First Century
Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA).



The Report and Order does the following:



•             Section 718:  Requires Internet browsers installed on mobile
phones to be accessible to and usable by individuals who are blind or have
a visual impairment, unless doing so is not achievable.  This requirement
applies when Internet browsers are used for any purpose.



•             Section 716:  Requires Internet browsers installed on
equipment used for advanced communications services, such as computers,
laptops, and tablets used for e-mail, to be accessible to and usable by
individuals with disabilities, unless doing so is not achievable.  This
requirement applies when Internet browsers are used for advanced
communications services.



These requirements apply to Internet browsers installed on mobile phones
and equipment used for advanced communications services that are
manufactured on or after October 8, 2013.
