Article: [senit] BBC plan to prevent access to disabled computer 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 can be used 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')
