Agreed. And they're actually using t-mobile's network, they don't have
their own.
Original message:
Not just a specialty phone, though: a specialty carrier
providing those phones. Such things make equality and equity harder
for us; it makes it possible for companies to say, "Well, there's that
special company helping the visually impaired, so there is no need for
us to make our goods and services accessible. This perpetuates the idea
that we require marginalized goods and services as well, which has
ramifications for education, employment, recreation, and integration
into our communities at every level.

We really don't, especially with the out of box accessibility that is

Original message:
Does anyone know anything about these phones or this project? Seems
pretty pointless if you want more than just a phone, and the full range
of experiences available to the sighted on any mobile carrier. Why on
earth do we need a special phone carrier? Separate and marginalized,
rather than expecting to be included in available services.
