For Canadian cell phone owners/users:
The CRTC has announced a proceeding to establish mandatory standards for
wireless mobile. We propose to create an Access 2020 Group filing that
outlines the needs of Canadians with disabilities. For example, the
wireless industry should offer customized contracts for Canadians with
disabilities. These contracts could include the possibility of a
reduction in data plan costs due to lack of accessibility in the
content, the slowness of screen readers, the time it takes to type
and/or the ability to pick only those services which can be used by the
individual, etc. It is up to Canadians with disabilities to ensure the
CRTC carves out an area within any standard for equivalent and fair
access to wireless mobile. For this reason, MAC believes it is important
to file on behalf of the Access 2020 Group. To begin preparing a filing,
we need your stories and concerns. Please pass this on to anyone you
know and ask them to send their thoughts to:
i...@mediac.ca
The deadline to file is 20 November 2012, so we will need to get started
soon.
Thank you,
Beverley Milligan
CEO
