Hello Thahir:
But I had read on another Indian list a few years ago that the deaf and
hard-at-hearing in India then had become totally exempt from the SMS
charges. As I'm not located in India...wasn't that information correct?
The fellow who had petitioned to the Communication Minister, was a
hard-at-hearing practising architect living in Mumbai whose name has
momentarily escaped my memory.

dear amarjit,
along with the SMS issue, the internet charge issue should also be taken
up. in the case of SMS what happened could be that the government might
not be aware of the fact that like deaf and dumb, blind can use mobile to
send SMS with the help of talks and so.

Good suggestion. Do form up an AccessIndia taskforce team and draw up a
letter to petition to the Central Govt Communication Minister to protest
against the discriminotary practices followed by the Govt whereby the
deaf and hard-at-hearing are allowed free SMS service in India, then why
not the blind community of India? Start seeking consunces of other AI
members. Start brainstorming on what to include in the letter on AI

I do endorse your stand, that like for basic phone, in which VI are
given
50% deduction in monthly rent by government owned basic phone service
provider(MTNL and BSNL). Something similar kind of arrangement should
be
made for broadband connection.

friends,
as we are all aware, internet is not a luxury but a necessity for the
visually challenged. in the absence of adequate amount of braille and
recorded materials, it is through the internet that the world of
letters
unfolds before us. even though i have been an english lecturer for
the
past
thirteen years, i had not been able to read english newspapers and
journals
till i started using internet.further, we have to download a number
of
audio
files which are very big in terms of KB. For us, internet is not a
supplementary medium but the only effective medium for information
and
entertainment.
the state of affairs being like this, what do you think of demanding
to
BSNL [at least] for making a reduction in their internet charges for
the
blind. BSNL employees already enjoy concession of this kind. why
can't we
ask organisations like AICB to take up this issue?i would like to
know
your
responses.
Regards,
Thahir.
