Peter White looks at the latest changes to Audio Description and asks Minister Ed Vaizey and Steve Winyard of the RNIB whether they go far enough. With the recommended voluntary 20% now comfortably within reach of most broadcasters by the end of the year, isn't it time to up the stakes and set higher targets? Ed Vaizey also tackles the issue of embedded accessibility rather than bespoke assistive technology - should your phone come ready primed or is it better to have your own add ons? Mani Djazmi visits the Sight Village exhibition in Birmingham to review the latest gizmos with Dr Mike Townsend.
