<Introduction>
The Universal Design section introduces AT&T Mobility's point of view on the
relationship between accessibility and innovation. Principles of "barrier-free design" or
"design for all" are not seen as constraints on design, but as fodder for innovation.
Consider accessing phone keys in a darkened theater, waiting for a call in a noisy
environment, or trying to operate your phone during an emergency - tactile markings
on the phone, vibrate mode and voice dialing benefit anyone who might find
themselves in situations of impairment (vision, hearing, speech, cognitive or dexterity)
temporarily or for longer terms.
