If the blind person is the only one living in the house, he can buy a black and white set and pay £18.72. If he has sighted family, they can buy a colour set and pay £56. They watch the full colour pictures, but pay £56 *less* than another household which does not have a blind resident. Seems more than fair to me.
When I go into town I tend to leave my mobile phone at home. I only take it with me if I go away. I really don't see why I need to be contactable 24/7, especially not if I'm just popping out for a coffee.

Ths site works fine for me at 15.08 GMT in the UK using British Telecom broadband and no proxy.
