Text in Virtual Worlds ("Chat") benefits all. BUT HOW?

In virtual worlds (like Second Life), users have a choice to present information (seminars, presentations, lectures, trainings, etc.) in voice, in "chat" text, or both.

Some organizations providing extensive training and information in Second Life consistently elect to use ONLY voice, even when asked by customers/users/consumers of their services to provide access to the information in text.

Aside from ADA-rights issues (if the request for text is disability-based), there are ALSO strong "business incentives" for including text access to virtual world communication. Here are a few we have generated so far. What additional benefits do YOU see?
