Worse than it being a non-priority, one could easily
imagine a regime that actively discourages long
distance (HF) communications. Also, some government
types in some places require some sort of "small"
payment (bribe) in order to get them to do their jobs
in individual cases. This is considered normal in
those places and astonishing to the rest of us.
I wonder if some "payola" would grease the wheels?
