Yes, it may have been arm twisting that got speech into the LG phones.  But the
fact is that the speech output became a part of the phone.  And the price didn't
significantly rize just because of the speech output.  I wasn't trying to say
that arm twisting had nothing to do with the end result or that economics is the
only reason why such advances have been made.  On the contrary, I am saying that
the arm twisting must continue, and on a much larger scale so that blind and
visually impaired people have access to the same information and technology that
sighted people have access to at the same prices that sighted people pay for
that access.  It is just wrong to make a particular group of people pay a price
that is much higher than they can afford to pay just because they have a part of
their bodies that doesn't work properly.  That is called profiting at the
expense of someone's disability, and that is not only wrong, but it is also
downright selfish.
