Re: Is anyone working to overcome this?

Not immediately, but does the name Adrian Kennard mean anything to you and others of similar inclination? Revd Kennard is top man at boutique UK ISP Andrews+Arnold (AAISP) and has been gadding about a bit in public view on this and related issues in recent months. Even if he's not the man you want, it may lead you somewhere.
