[Sigia-l] Web Accessibility on Government Websites outside US

[W words]

Ronald

1 Accessibility is also bandwidth, software age and pc capabalities: perhaps
not a problem for a tiny rich place like Singapore. Not all people run a
laptop
with a mouse so there's one "accessibility" issue. And what about
accessibility with pda?

3  Australia. If you go to
http://www.govonline.gov.au/projects/standards/accessibility.htm

For all standards of Aust govt sites (that is federal/commonwealth level
sites) go to http://www.govonline.gov.au/ and look at the topics under the
Standards heading

without

> 3.    Who are the other countries who mandates government websites to be

>
> 4.    To what extent is possibly implemented?
