Subject: Re: [uddi-spec] UDDI TC FTF in JULY now confirmed


Daniel,

The choice of the airport can be influenced by their customs processing.
I heard that SVO is notorious for its inhumane conditions and long waiting
time before you can cross the border.
I experienced it myself a couple of years ago ;)

Is DME any better / worse?

Cheers,
Max
