- Not sure--I'm not an American. But it pisses me off that the world's cheapest
- living-room Internet solution is being kept from its most important market until
- its free online time offer is no longer valid, and until the competition has a
- competing product finished and on the shelves. US companies can sell buggy
- processors radiating 15W at much higher frequencies yet an innocent 14MHz
- low-power EC020 is picked apart for careful examination.
-
- Testing import products for "safety" is sometimes used as an economic weapon
- against foreign competition; practices that stink quite like this one are IMHO
- quite rare.
