As one who has personally had to pay for access to these documents I
strongly support any form of free availability of ISO protocol
standards on the net.  The lack of such distribution is one of the
most serious impediments to real acceptance of the model as well as
the stack.  The damage already done by European publication and highly
profitable private US distribution may be irremediable, but it's still
well worth a try.  There should at least be a non-profit US source for
the paper documents -- such as the UN Bookshop in New York, which
provides CCITT documents at cost.

The response to Malamud's "experiment" must be significant enough to
deserve a response.  Why haven't we heard from Geneva in this news
group??

(BTW, email distribution from Geneva is not an acceptable substitute
for FTPable text at a US site.)
