I'm not sure how you can I I "always want to push the funding issue" when
this is the first time I've mentioned funding! I think you might be getting
me mixed up with another organisation?
If not, then if you can tell me how I can research, develop, pay for
insurance, rent servers AND promote the service, print brochures, travel,
attend conferences and advertise or otherwise magically let organisations
know about the service without funding, then do, please, contact me
off-list with the secret that every organisation in the world would love to
know!

lack of progress, such as not many TN's taking it up, and not available for

Get the funding and the TNs don't need to make the choice - there would
be 230 of them on it overnight.
Chicken and egg!

How many TNs are there on the Alexa skill? I don’t think it’s yet
really representative of the whole country. If we get funding, and the TNs
don’t sign up for it, then it makes the app itself a bit pointless. I know
Stevenage TN is not on there yet, and that’s likely their fault, not yours,
but that’s a difficult nut to crack.

If you can find me the funding to develop it, I can develop it!
That's all that's holding it up.

Speaking of Alexa, are there any useful apps for the visually impaired I
can download to my Echo Smartspeaker?
