| NOTAS: | "The telecommunications environment has undergone massive change since the original launch of the initial COST 219 action in 1986, moving from the cosy world of state run telecommunication monopolies to the harsh reality of market forces. This book aims to look at the effect these changes have had on the provision of equipment and services for disabled and older people in terms of availability, cost and how the services are run. One example of such a service, relay service centres, will be analysed in detail in order to identify the various trends in relation to the different levels of service provision across Europe, the effect of legislation and regulation and the impact of research and development." |
