Issue 3: Access to telecommunications and broadcast services for disabled
This topic concerns provisions for disabled and elderly people in the telecommunications and broadcast area. Both equipment/service provision and financial supports towards costs were relevant aspects for this topic. Examples of equipment/service provision might include accessible public telephone booths, text telephone relay services (these are services that provide a human operator to “interpret” between users of text telephones, usually deaf people or people with severe speech impairments, and users of ordinary voice telephones) and so on. Examples of financial supports towards costs might include discounted tariffs for text telephone users, subsidised line rental for older people and so on.
