Brendan Gramer, who is deaf,
writes in Wired News today about how AT&T's recent announcement that
it will block FaceTime on its networks affects deaf people, who use FaceTime to converse in sign language.
It’s disappointing that AT&T is standing in the way of innovation
that addresses the needs of its deaf and hard-of-hearing customers.
Sometimes it takes a while (and some prodding)
for technology and technology companies to catch up to and embrace
accessibility. In this case the technology is there, but it’s AT&T
that’s throwing up the barrier.
