Hi Dark: You are exactly right. Any time a company does an inquiry about accessibility they only get half the story. Usually some overly priced access solution that does not serve their needs, because the organizations for the blind are out to make a buck off of making something accessible. So they will resort to the highest costing solution possible rather than suggesting or recommending a potentially low cost solution. I don't know what the answer is, but I think it is far passed time that we educate more people a bout general accessibility and how they can make something accessible without a great deal of money.
Cheers!
