[senco-forum] BBC plan to prevent access to many disabled users

The BBC are planning to make their planned TV on demand /
internet TV services only available to users of Microsoft
Windows (XP or higher) computers.

This will exclude the many, many disabled people who use
more SEN friendly platforms such as the Apple Mac.

There is a public consultation which I urge SENCo forum
members to use to ask the BBC to make sure its services are
available to everyone and not just to customers of The
Microsoft Corporation.

Please also forward this message to other forums and people
concerned with equal access for all.

The public consultation is here:

If the link is broken then it may need cutting an pasting
into you browsers address bar. (Or on a Mac highlight it,
right click and select 'go to address')
