[Nfbf-l] Not Good! A petition was filed by a Coalition of E-Reader Manufacturers!

[Alan Dicey]

Dear Fellow NFB Members,
I suggest we call, and write the FCC at the contacts below, and let them 
know what we think about this delay!
And tell the FCC we are not happy with even the fact that a  "request for  a 
waiver" was even filed  by that Coalition of E-Reader Manufacturers and 
strongly state we want the   "waiver"  denied!
With Best Regards,
God Bless,
Alan
Plantation, Florida

On October 22, 2013, the FCC's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau 
announced that the FCC needs more time to review a petition requesting a 
waiver from the FCC's advanced communications accessibility requirements for 
certain e-reader devices.  The petition was filed by a Coalition of E-Reader 
Manufacturers.  The Bureau granted the temporary waiver until January 28, 
2014.  During this temporary waiver period, the FCC will evaluate the merits 
of the petition and decide whether to grant or deny the waiver request.
