Internet TV Leaving Out the Hearing Impaired?

I just got this note, referring to my story in Portfolio about Joost, Hulu and the Internet TV space:

I have just finished reading your excellent article about WebTV.....most of these sites, especially HULU discriminates against Deaf and hard of hearing individuals by their failure to make them accessible.....no close captioning. Maybe you can help us out by contacting people like Mr. Volpi, Kilar, et cetera on our behalf.

Hm. Mike Volpi, Jason Kilar -- he seems to have a point.
