how much value do you produce in a particular country how much do you invoice in a particular country how many services do you sell in a particular country and second how much is each company affiliate in all the networks that they are all over the world charged by their mother company for the brand or for the technology that sucks in all those profits and then takes it to a low tech sure direction and therefore doesn't pay taxes to anybody anywhere in the world how do we avoid that so what you're really offering here is the proportionate system is that right. no that is one of the approaches the only problem is with technology your life becomes much more complicated because where is the residence or where is a source of i t ok it's in the ether it's floating around how do you deal with. high tech. you mentioned the googles you mention the. the starbucks appearance in the commons in the u.k. or in the congress of the united states which basically confirmed the fact that we're confronted with an enormous challenge of saying ok we created a problem ok now we have to solve it we have to
