I could always access those web sites.

(ii) AOL is undertaking steps to render the existing and future content
of
the AOL-developed areas of the AOL- service largely accessible to the
blind
by converting the content to a format compatible with screen reader
assistive technology, and intends to take many of those steps to
coincide
with the release of the AOL 6.0 software; (iii) as to certain exceptions
(which the NFB acknowledges pose unusual technological difficulties),


Looks as if this applies to content to me.  This is from the document
you
cited.

I have taken another look at the original sources of information on this
issue of aol vs nfb and even though the discussions about it envolve the
web, I see no indication in the original sources that this is the case.
I have been maintaining that this is the case since the day I read the
filing which was the day it came out and if the agreement referenced
below is any indication, It still holds.  I am not an legal authority or
student so am bound to not interpret but only read what is there and I
have utmost respect for those who opperate in this sphere so pleae
enlighten me with something I can find as a source rather than a third
person discussion as to the involvement of the web in this action.  here
is the url to the final agreement.
you can read the other sources near by.

I agree with the fundamental thoughts expressed in this thread
concerning the reasons for moving forward with accessibility but I also
feel that it is important to keep our facts streight.  I appologize if I
am indeed incorrect but in my discussions with many over the period
since the filing, I have been told that this has nothing to do with the
web.
