Are there connection issues or slowness from foreign traffic? Do you have any issues with your own connection speeds or is dsl/cable readily available?
Th rules vary from country to country, even in the european union they are not the same in each member state. The most restrictive rules are in Germany. German laws force the webmaster to proove the legal age of the surfer by a personal contact. The surfer has to sign up and then he is forced to verify his identity by mail. This means, he gets a mail which is delivered to him by personal contact and only if he signed personally he will get access to a site. Quite stupid and anyway typically german.

This law is up since April 1st. 2003 and not strictly practised yet. But the surfer has to signup with the digits of his identity card anyway.
