I guess having to pay more for local *support* is ok if this is
needed to cover higher operation costs.
However, I am not convinced this is justified when only buying
a software license. The bulk of the costs there are associated with
development which is done in the US so I see no reason to charge
customers a different amount according to their locations (aside
from handling costs).
If I don't want support, why can't I just buy my license from RSI US?
(not forgetting to pay appropriate taxes)

Bernard.
