- A somewhat administrative question:
-
- As a reply to an inquiry (not an order) about their IMPALA 24/96
- portable fax/modem, I got from OMRON (Omron Office Automation Products,
- Inc., Santa Clara, CA) a slip of paper saying:
-
- [ greetings etc. deleted ]
-
- " We regret to inform you that we cannot accomodate your request at this
- time. Currently, we do not have government approval to sell in your
- country. Unfortunately, we do not have plans at this time to apply for
- these approvals. "
-
- [ ditto ]
-
- Since this is the second time I hear of such behaviour regarding modem
- sales from the United States to Italy, I'd like to know more about it,
- especially on which side of the Atlantic Sea the problem is. Which is
- the "government" Omron is talking of ? Are there Italian regulations
- I'm not aware of that forbid import of telecommunication goods ?
- Is this an US policy regarding high-tech stuff ?
-
- I will be grateful to anyone who can (and will :-) supply information,
- maybe Omron could explain more but I couldn't find an E-Mail address
- for them, at least not in the States...
