| Annotation | UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) is the name given to the third generation of mobile telephone services and the European implementation of the worldwide IMT 2000 concept of mobile communication. Although European Union (EU) policy is to ensure equality of access to the information society, there is a danger that developments such as this could inadvertently exclude access for older and disabled people. This report examines the technical and regulatory issues and how disability organisations should respond. (RH). |
