Not only is the present Janet policy (coloured books instead of
TCP/IP) isolating us from the rest of the world, but it looks
like the ISO transition will do the same again:
The JNT in its infinite wisdom (???) has mandated that the ISO
profile used in the UK use TC0 (connection oriented transport
service) while NBS in the USA is encouraging the use of TC4
(connectionless transport service).
Here we go again .....
