You might want to take a look at the APCAUCE track at APRICOT 2005
(feb 3rd wk 2005 at Kyoto, Japan) - you'll meet a bunch of Chinese
operators there, and can discuss this and other issues with them.
Highlight of this track - Dave Crocker, Jim Fenton and Meng Wong will
be doing a panel on reputation / authentication etc proposals, and
their operational aspects.
