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?
