“We applaud the Congress for approving and sending to President Obama the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010. Lead sponsors Rep. Ed Markey and Sen. Mark Pryor deserve enormous credit for spearheading this important legislation that will significantly improve accessibility of communications services and equipment for Americans with disabilities. The Act is the result of thoughtful bipartisan process and we would also like to thank Sens. Rockefeller, Hutchison, Kerry and Ensign and Reps. Waxman, Barton, Boucher and Stearns for their significant efforts. Our industry will work closely with the Federal Communications Commission to implement rules that will aid millions of Americans with disabilities in enjoying cable programming and services.”
