But i know its still hard sometimes and frustrating. Lets go back to the earlier question i asked. What do you find to be some of the biggest hurdles for your success . And are there policies that either your governments could be pursuing or the United States in conjunction with your governments could be pursuing that would really make this process if not easy, then at least a little smoother . And are there questions or concerns that you have in terms of how more established businesses like facebook, how they might be able to interact with startups like yours . So why dont we well go in reverse order this time. I think theres been many challenges along the way and in our case, we tried to disrupt many preconceptions.
