| Annotation | For older people or those who have disabilities, the third generation telecommunication networks should enable them to share in the information society on equal terms and free from the handicaps associated with access to fixed terminals. This report draws attention to inclusion and design aspects of information and communication technology (ICT). Among the objectives is the promotion of a culture of inclusion that will emphasise awareness of the inclusion philosophy throughout the telecommunications industries. The ultimate aim is that disabled and older people are enabled to participate as discriminating consumers - but not discriminated against - in the benefits of third generation mobile communication systems.
