"Unless that market is bigger than $100M USD, I seriously doubt that. I'd be surprised if that market was bigger than $10M USD." So you think that even if Target, Walmart, K-Mart, JC Penny, Amazon, Ebay, Google, Yahoo, Cisco, MS, Apple, Adobe, Bank of America and thousands of other publically accessed websites were required to improve their accessibility, that the money available to the reader companies wouldn't increase? Walmart alone might put $100M a year into developing a reader if the alternative is a class action suit. We are talking about companies whose combined revenue is in the *trillions* of dollars. You can bet some money is going to be thrown at the problem to solve it!
