If the Access Board goes and mandates JAWS versus NVDA, for example, I bet there will be a lawsuit quick as a bunny can hop.

Thank you. That was exactly what came to mind when this issue was brought up on the list. Where did reasonable accommodation go?

I work for a for-profit company and we focus on JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver for Mac, iPad and iPhone.

Mobile technology is on the rise and more and more people are using it to conduct business. I have 5 Apps on my iPhone related only to my work.

I am not stating that this government agency should have an app. Yet, it should have an accessible site for small view. If not, that's another issue.
