Bell Announces A Bunch Of New Mobile Access Tech For People With Disabilities, Some Of Which May Actually Be Useful
Because this could do quite a bit of good for a lot of people, I won’t bother speculating on how Bell, who can’t get even the most basic of customer service requests correct, may go about screwing it up. I’ll just present it as the good news announcement that it seems to be…for now. I …
