Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur underscores that the needs of persons with disabilities should be taken into account when designing and implementing Internet infrastructure at all levels. This can be in relation to distribution, user facilities as well as access devices. Some positive examples include the "Community Access" programme in Canada, which seeks to provide an appropriate number of sites with enhanced accessibility to meet the broad range of needs of persons with disabilities. The programme also aims to provide Internet access to less likely users, such as individuals with low incomes, rural or Aboriginal population, the elderly and immigrants.
