Nice timing on exploring this topic. The DoJ just finished a round of title III revisions to the ADA, they've been exploring expanding the mandate for accessibility to more websites. (If anyone has a good analysis of the final rules wrt the web, I'd appreciate a pointer. I'm under the impression that any changes aren't very broad-reaching.) "The Department has consistently interpreted the ADA to cover Web sites that are operated by public accommodations and stated that such sites must provide their services in an accessible manner or provide an accessible alternative to the Web site that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The final rule, therefore, does not impose any new obligation in this area. [...] The Department intends to engage in additional rulemaking in the near future addressing accessibility in these areas and others, including next generation 9-1-1 and accessibility of Web sites operated by covered public entities and public accommodations." (fedreg pp56236-56285) They use an example of online ticket purchasing as a common hardship. (eg by losing timely access to popular events due to the need to use another method to purchase the tickets.)
