Alex, afraid I'm tempted to say well, I will say it, if RNIB is involved anywhere, then not very viable, if viable at all! From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- alex.thynne@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] accessible internet service providers Hi all I'm in a discussion on skype with a couple of my friends, and we were talking about the lack of knowledge of people in help desks, concerning how to help someone using a screenreader perform tasks on a part of a provider's broadband site. They are frustrated because of the lack of accessibility in choosing or managing their various broadband features. I wonder therefore, why can't some of the technology companies providing access equipment, or possibly RNIB and any others who would be interested, in setting up a truly accessible broadband provider. I imagine that this would probably involve using someone's network, to do this, and any profits could be ploughed back into accessible technology products or services. I wonder whether anyone has ever thought about this, is it feasible?
