Proposed ADA Requirements May Affect Public Internet Use

An anonymous reader writes "The Associated Press is reporting on federal officials who want to expand the application of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to require accommodations by public websites, call centers, and technology providers. Hearings are scheduled in Chicago, Washington, and San Francisco. New rules could be implemented as soon as 2012. 'For more than a decade, the Justice Department has interpreted the ADA to apply to websites that offer goods and services. But now that idea could be clarified, and timetables for compliance could be set. ... The Justice Department is considering making it clear that some personal, noncommercial content would not be affected.'"

So people who are unable to use his site are going to punish him by refusing to buy from him?

Sounds like a plan.

I was on a cruise ship last month, and I came upon the most brilliant braille placement ever. It was on the underside of the hand rail of the staircases. As you go up or down the stairs, you can't help but feel the braille. It's right at your fingertips.
