>> leading provider of internet and digital information accessibility
>> software and services, today announced that it will no longer require
>> a fee to upgrade or maintain any software in its product line.
>> Software companies traditional have charged fees under a contract,

>> to newer versions of their software packages. Serotek will continue
>> to provide regular upgrades and software improvements but will offer
>> them free of charge to all Serotek customers.
>> The announcement was formally made today at the Assistive Technology
>> Industry Association (ATIA) annual conference in Orlando, Florida,
>> with the company?s ?RIP SMA? campaign. The first such offering of its
>> kind, the news was met with great user enthusiasm.
>> ?True to our belief that accessibility is right, not a privilege, we
>> are excited to lead the industry in pronouncing SMAs are dead.? said
>> Mike Calvo, CEO, Serotek Corporation, ?Users of our System Access
>> product line can now enjoy one price, one time, forever. And we
>> encourage the industry to follow suit.?
>> Reactions to this news can be found on the company?s podcast,
>> Serotalk, which is being broadcast live from the conference?s
>> Internet Café, which is being sponsored by the Serotek Corporation.
>> Those unable to attend the conference can listen to the Serotalk
