ATT concentrates on products for disabled customers

Communications giant ATT is focusing on developing new products for its disabled customers, the company has claimed.

Those with impaired vision or blindness are being targeted by two new products called Mobile Speak and Mobile Magnifier. To develop the products, ATT worked with Code Factory, a developer of software solutions for the blind. Currently ATT is getting advice from experts within the disabled community on designing further services to aid the visually impaired.

Paul Schroeder, vice president of programs and policy for the American Foundation for the Blind, said: "The partnership of companies such as Code Factory and ATT bodes well for those in the disabled community, demonstrating that they have not forgotten the visually impaired demographic." Such companies are looking for fresh and "unorthodox" ways of extending their services to the disabled community, Mr. Schroeder added.

Meanwhile, ATT has added its support to the Federal Communication Commission's proposals for the auction of the 700 MHz spectrum auction, which would expand choice for those who use wireless.
