To work with the phone companies. I thought your testimony was very interesting today when you talked about the fact that some of us suspect it may not really be a technological issue as much as it is a Business Model issue. So if that is all the case, what has been done to improve it since that time . Has there really been changes, except for discussions with the phone companies . You said in answer to one of the questions that a good chunk of it could be resolved. How would we resolve that . Is it just simply the International Norms you talked about, where you would have agreement between countries to where our court orders, their court orders could be followed .
