An example is the case then a consumer communicated through a number of service providrs to the service provider. In this case the consumer may not meet directly ie. the putting culminates before the getting even starts. Anoteh case is the issue of "streaming" service such as audio. Could you point me to where such cases are addressed using Hoares thinking? Sofar I still got the feeling that act leading up to consent are still important altough final rendezvous is an important event. Best Regards /Anders //////////////////////////// / Anders W.
