I agree with you, Leah that this could very likely be a case of saving money during development. It seems that in general people are willing to disregard these factors because governments and organizations turn a blind eye on this discrimination. It would not surprise me if these companies actually did risk assessments to calculate how much they would lose in a potential lawsuit with the liklihood of that happening compared to the cost in extra development and late releases. This would get back to PJ's point, and it may very well be that they know how to answer that question. I would like to believe that these ocurrences are merely oversights or ignorance, but with such a high rate of this happening, it seems very unlikely. Very good comments.

I don't think awareness is the issue, but rather the bottom line. Good read. I can’t think of a better way to say “We don’t appreciate your business”.

I'm amazed that so many e-commerce sites, especically Amazon, are so behind in this subject. This is a whole segment of the population that first and foremost have the right to use those websites, but secondly, are willing to give those businesses money. How much are they losing out in not making these changes. Also, how much will they <em>literally</em> lose if a class-action lawsuit is brought against them? Wow, that’s astonishing.
