For the Rest of the World it’s $17.95 a month or $1.95 per issue!

Well, of course it costs more. It costs a lot to ship those electrons all over the world.

Quite so!
I wonder if the Guardian will try to say that it’s Amazon that’s the cause of these extra charges; e.g. the extra cost of Whispernet outside of the U.S.?
