Stevie Wonder visits FCC

Pop icon Stevie Wonder visited the Federal Communications Commission to promote services for blind people. He met with FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai about technology that allows people who are blind or have a sight disability to follow along with their favorite television shows. “Stevie Wonder spoke with the commissioner about the importance to visually impaired people of making video description available for scripted television programming,” an aide to Commissioner Pai said, referring to a service that gives short audio descriptions of onscreen events to help blind people understand what’s happening. “He spoke about the importance of that to visually impaired people and also shared some ideas in terms of how that might be done," the aide added.
