I'm sorry, but this just leaves me cross-eyed.. You can't possibly sit there and tell me that "housing" ourselves under the umbrella of a notoriously bloated organization like the ISO or CCITT is going to be LESS work, now can you? And you completely ignored my other points, which was that the necessary INFRASTRUCTURE is here! I'm sorry, you can yell and scream all you want, but HERE is where most of the action in the computer field is. Not London, not Berlin, not Tokyo, not Sydney! I've been elsewhere and I've SEEN just what passes for infrastructure there, thank you! I'm not saying it's BAD, it's just not any kind of comparison to what we have here and it simply makes no SENSE, Julian, to set up shop anywhere else.. If it makes you feel any better, I'd go to england if I wanted fish and chips and ignore the poor imitations we have here. Full marks to each country for its particular specialty? Certainly! :-) Jordan
