The only question I have for this agreement is "how much did it cost?".
Anyways, as others mentioned in regards to encryption, it works just fine in Japan. I also know I can rely on the same two or three pundits to spew pro-**AA garbage, and it's like watching a cheerleader. At least put on the dress and take out the pom-poms so I can either look up your dress or point and laugh.
