Sounds to me like Rick Adams of UUNET should be getting his passport
in order.  Seems like there is an opportunity to create a UUNET
like facility(s) in Europe and sell Usenet at cost.  Plus, the
true costs of trans-atlantic mail could be allocated to the sending
system, instead of just dumping all the cost of mail sent or
received on our European friends.
