I can't even imagine what those might be.  Localization?
Internationalization?  With the number of languages used
by people in the US itself, those are universal costs,
not country-specific.

We think the policy is imperialistic and exploitative,
an example of "all the traffic will bear" rather than
equitable business practice.  Mif2Go is the same price
throughout the world, $295 for a single seat.  

Since the downturn, the majority of our sales have been
outside the US, perhaps partly because Adobe makes the 
large cost advantage of Mif2Go over RH (or the TCS) even 
more glaring there.  ;-)
