That's from 2003 and says the RNIB was recently involved in two cases
and was working on several potential ones. I can't find out which
companies were involved - prior to action they tend to keep it
confidential and subsequent to settling it would probably be bad
politics to name-and-shame.

Doesn't matter. In the US, live television broadcasts are
closed-captioned--by hand--and Yahoo radio could provide a text stream
as well. I'm not saying they *should*--much of the same information is
available in Yahoo and other news services in written form, so not much
would be gained by having the same written information synchronized with
Yahoo radio.

So it seems you reckon it's off-topic for
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html, right? Not sure why you're still
posting here.
