Hi Justin and all, For further information see the UN Press Release [1], and Nomensa's site [2] (they undertook the study). I'm told the full report is still undergoing final review, but will be available shortly.

Interesting story... Apparently the United Nations commissioned a study and found that 97% of web sites are still inaccessible. http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200612/97_of_websites_still_inacce ssible/ I don't know how accurate the study is; regardless it shows that we have a lot of educating and outreach yet to be done.
