| NOTAS: | "The main objective of COST 219ter is to increase the accessibility of next generation telecommunication network services and equipment to elderly people and people with disabilities by design or by adaptation when required. In cases where this cannot be achieved, the Action will promote the establishment of appropriate supplementary assistive services and equipment. Taking always into account inclusive design in telecommunications, especially in the mobile field, the objectives are to: • Extend the existing COST 219 website for designers to better understand consumers and their requirements, so that many more people with disabilities and elderly people can be catered for in mainstream design • Support the exchange of information on inclusion and accessibility issues so that these can be freely explored with developers, researchers and representatives of the telecommunications industries and service providers so that • People with disabilities and elderly people can share in the benefits of new mobile communication systems." |
