I concur that the 22 months figure is shocking. I've been around long
enough that I was here long before it was legal. I've worked on projects
where man-months were thrown at trying to quantify international legal
barriers to running some networks around the world.
Please note, however, the exact wording I used. "Within the western
world, and certainly the USA, "political" boundaries are no excuse."
I didn't say they weren't there. They most certainly are in some
places. But those are rapidly dissapearing, and as I said especially
within the USA (where most of these discussions center) the politics
are no excuse.
