Subject: [TN] Competition - Cost & PriceDear Technetters,I would appreciate your comments on the following statement:"The cost of PCBs is the same everywhere on earth, the difference is in the Price"If you agree with the above, then what are the differences ?- Infrastructures?- Social security ?- Respect of human rights ?- Pollution ?- Slavery ?- Medical cares ?- Living conditions ?- ISO 14000- ...Suggestions anyone ?I remember a time where German use to say - we do not want to buy unless we have proof that manufacturers are respecting good ecological practices.. Have a green label - concerns about children slavery - etc.. Where are those today?Should IPC / EIPC care about establishing a basic guideline / approbation of good practice to those who are respecting the above points ?Are we hypocrites and forgot about ethic ?Very Best Regards - RolandPlease visit our Website and FREE register in the World largest PCB Manufacturers DatabaseRoland Jaquet - PCBspecialist - 14 ch. de Vers - CH-1228 Plan-Les-Ouates - Geneva - Switzerland - T +41-22-880-0405 - F +41-22-880-0409 - GSM +41-79-203-3723 - Company & Technical Viability - Yield Improvement - Company Strategy & Acquizition - Equipement & Technology Choice - EIPC Member--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
