[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

New York Telephone has recently introduced
a program which provides braille phone bill s for
blind customers.
At present, the company only produces
the summary of charges, and no itimization pages.
Also, at present the company sends the work out to
a contractor, and the customer has braille about
a week after the printed invoices are sent.
The company plans to do the work in-house,
directly off the main-frame, and include itimization
at some point.
This would be a good idea for the rest of the
country.  Does anyone know of other
companies doing something like this?
