Enter New Markets

Federal regulations like section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 in the United States stipulate that computers used in government or educational settings must provide reasonable access for people with disabilities. As this regulation and others like it take effect, entrance into these markets is dependent upon your ability to supply accessible applications.

Like the localization issue a few years ago, accessibility has evolved from a good idea to an essential component of competitive applications. Apple is committed to providing the best platform from which to enter these markets. By access enabling your application and deploying it on Mac OS X, you make your application more attractive to these markets.
