Private and Public Stakeholders to Collaborate on Better Informing Consumers About Accessible Apps

What industry can do to ensure that consumers are aware of the great number of accessibility apps that are available now and may become available in the future?

CTIA - the Wireless Association has volunteered to work with consumers and the Federal Communications Commission to figure out the best way to make this information available to consumers. Among other things, this may include updating and expanding the wireless association's accessibility website, so that it would be a first stop for consumers searching for information about accessible wireless devices, services, and apps. CTIA's acceptance of this challenge was conditioned on the agreement of consumers, the FCC, and other stakeholders to collaborate with industry representatives on this project. We and all of the consumer groups in attendance at the event readily agreed to work together and committed to moving the project forward in a coordinated effort with CTIA.
