COAT Affiliate AAPD Blogs on Accessible Tech & Broadband

AAPD's Senior Director for Government Affairs, Jenifer Simpson, was asked to write a blog about accessible technology and broadband for an industry-driven coalition, Broadband for America. As you may recall, the FCC is charged with developing a National Broadband Plan and many industry & consumer groups are providing recommendations to the FCC on this. AAPD is instrumental in trying to ensure that a principle of inclusion of people with disabilities is included in the plan through working with such coalitions. Read her Blog at Broadband for America.

If you want to learn what is broadband, the website has some explanations. Captioned video. Other captioned videos on the site, too. See related COAT story about Marlee Matlin at FCC Gallaudet hearing.
