Some people can be thick -- even when well-intentioned. But on the subject of streaming -- I find that very few streaming broadcasts use captioning. Most television broadcasts have closed captioning as mandatory and the ability to transmit text with radio broadcasts is being used (although, more as an added feature). I imagine the wild-west unregulated state of the web makes such enforcement difficult at best. I am sure there would be howls of protest if some licensing, such as an FCC license for broadcasting, would be mandatory for the web -- and perhaps there should be some "citizens band" version of the web (which the spammers will overrun) and a "professional" version.
