I concur totally with this synopsis , as the time for new technology  is  
here.In fact  it  is working to the extent that we have   TV Guide on our 
Newsline service along with  250 other newspapers   that I can  read  any time 
and anywhere I want to. Everyone has a  telephone and the access to this 
incredible information source is   free to all print disabled that qualify for 
talking book service.

I  suggest we consider a different approach.  With the Radio 
Service we  are limited to the schedule times and content.  If the 
funds were  redirected to NFB Newsline we could greatly enhance 
the program which  gives us complete independence in choosing when 
to read which newspaper  and allows us to read from any location, 
not just over the receiver they  provide.  I suggest we seek 
transfor of the funds to support  Newsline.
