FCC Commemorates 23rd Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act

In recognition of the 23rd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Federal Communications Commission highlighted milestones in its efforts to bring the accessibility provisions of the Communications Act into the digital age by implementing the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA).

Signed into law by President Obama on October 8, 2010, the CVAA ensures that people with disabilities have equal access to Internet communication and video programming technologies of the 21st century.
