Gotta agree with that! :-) There was a time, not long ago, where, tho the US may not have been an "ideal" for the net, - it was tolerable and OK.

Now.. between the credit card fiasco with VISA US, the failures of iBill blah and now the US govt stuffing their nose into the internet pie - it's gotta be one of the most unfavorable locations for any net business (but better than Iraq).

Also consider... there are numbers of countries who operated on a geo taxation principle and these countries do not even think of charging taxes on net revenue, so hard not to consider all these options when chosing a location.
