How the FCC regulates accessibility for new technologies

The Americans with Disabilities Act turned 30 this summer, but this year also marks a decade since the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act was signed. That law sets federal rules for things like streaming video, mobile browsers and teleconferencing software. Regulators at the Federal Communications Commission are in charge of making sure people follow that law, and they get help from the FCC’s Disability Advisory Committee. Kimberly Adams speaks with Brian Scarpelli, co-chair of that group. He says tech has definitely outpaced the law.
