<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>A succinct and hopefully useful answer is that this is an
evolving area of law. Currently it depends on how two critical dimensions.
For most of this list the first and most important question will be who is providing
access (in the common language use of the word rather than the disability/assistive
technology sense of the word, which I think of as blue </span><b><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#0033CC'>access </span></b><span

signs)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>If
an institution is requiring or offering the use of the website for students
enrolled in a particular program or course; there is no obligation on the
publisher but there is one on the institution with the license for its
students. As argued in the recent Arizona/Kindle case before it was
settled Under Title II of the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act,
programs and the services and benefits available to program participants have
to be accessible directly or by alternatives that are substantially equivalent
in their timely availability and the time and effort required of the individual
with a disability. Section 504 goes on to specify that an federal fund
recipient cannot discriminate by contract, assigning the recipient (our
institutions) not the third party the primary obligation. A
complaint about accessibility of a third party web based service would likely be
resolve along the same lines as the <a href="http://www.ada.gov/settlemt.htm">kindle
complaints</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>If
on the other hand we are talking about a site that is simply available to
anyone and not offered by, required or significantly woven into course
expectations by the institution, program or instructor then the obligation for accessibility
will depend somewhat on what circuit it is in. Some Federal Circuits have
seen phone systems and the internet as “places of public accommodation”
others have not. If an entity does not provide services in a place of public
accommodation, is part of a state or government program, or is a federal fund
recipient than there is not coverage by the ADA or 504. In considering
this dimension the <a href="http://www.nfbtargetlawsuit.com/">Target Settlement</a>
would be informative. There is also a presentation I did in 2006 for the
CIC Accessibility Group that would be useful as well <a
