Currently no specific accessibility laws for business websites in most of the countries world wide



Still other laws regarding disabilities apply depending on jurisdiction



European Union might follow plans for more restrictive US laws when it comes to TTIP and TISA



More than 10 years after WCAG, BITV 1.0 and other regulationsweb accessibility still is a legal limbo
