Telecommunications Access for Rural Americans With Disabilities

Alexandra Enders and Tom Seekins

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1999, vol. 14, issue 3

Abstract: People with disabilities may be inadvertently excluded from rural community life unless telecommunications access—economic, social, and physical—is addressed and ensured locally. New telecommunications policies are committed to the inclusion of people with disabilities. However, policy alone cannot ensure equitable access. Grassroots understanding is needed to define access in telecommunications and to determine how access can inform development activities.
