[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

steve, nice to meet you.  nls claims that setting an 800 # would be
to costly and networking their nls computers would be out of their
league, hence why they use brs.  i feel that they should pay brs a
flat rate and let us have brs free or not at all, it is unfair that
the rich can have access and the rest of us can't.  in a letter
from Mr. Cylke to my local congressman, Cylke stated that the
"search" feature is too complex for most blind folks...
hmmmmmmmmmmm... i think though that an 800 # would be the way to go
and we should push for this.
