Disappointed by IBA, again

Today I tried in vain to listen to Yoman Hashavua on www.iba.org.il

Pissed off, I sent this email to their marketing director, whose address I
found here: http://www.iba.org.il/contacts/

Dear Zvia,

I am a Linux user, and have absolutely no access to any of the shows that
you put online.

I have no problems with NPR, BBC, Guardian, PBS, and any of the dozens of
major international web sites, WHICH ADHERE TO STANDARDS.

Could you PLEASE make sure your site is operating with file types that can
be displayed on MacOS, Linux, and older versions of Windows, so that your
viewers abroad who are not Microsoft Windows users will be able to enjoy
them as well?

Thanks,

Why don't we ALL send email such as this to these collective of dunces,
until we can get some satisfaction?

It is not like the IBA is a global leader in their broadcast technology,
they are just a bunch of lazy incompetents who can't manage to open their
services to all sections of society because of thoughtlessness and lack
of thoughtfulness.

And look, they even have someone in charge of open data - except to Linux
users, that is. They have to pay for a Windows license...
