Press Release: Information Society for all: Commission opens consultation to make ICT products and services more accessible

The European Commission launched a public consultation on 10 January 2005 on how to make the benefits of Information and Communication Technologies available to the widest possible range of citizens, including to older people and people with disabilities. The consultation was a first step in the Commission's endeavour to remove the technical challenges and difficulties that people with disabilities and others experience when trying to use electronic products or services such as computers, mobile phones or the Internet.
