This has been proven true many times in the past through examples in interpreter access, phone use, telecommunications, public information and now the Internet. This is a very important principle.

I would just like to add that those of us who have a big hearing loss pay exactly the same as hearing folks for our equipment and access to the Internet but receive considerably less services. Even Netflix has thumbed their noses at us and we pay for movies that are not subtitled or captioned. We need a rep in the government that understand our predicament.
