Disabled people are being left behind by the technology industry - both in terms of services and an understanding of what technology can do, a new Ofcom study has claimed.

"Fifty-three per cent of disabled people have a smartphone in their household, compared with 81 per cent of non-disabled people... while 67 per cent of disabled people use the internet, compared to 92 per cent of non-disabled people," Ofcom noted.
