Ic, maybe that's the plan but then it failed:

From http://www.berlin-consortium.org/:

      Please chose a mirror near you:<br>
      <a href="http://www.de.berlin-consortium.org";>DE</a> --
      <a href="http://www.au.berlin-consortium.org";>AU</a> --
      <a href="http://www.us.berlin-consortium.org";>US</a> --
      <a href="http://www.fr.berlin-consortium.org";>FR</a> --
      <a href="http://www.il.berlin-consortium.org";>IL</a> --
      <a href="http://www.jp.berlin-consortium.org";>JP</a> --
      <a href="http://www.kr.berlin-consortium.org";>KR</a> --
      <a href="http://www.nl.berlin-consortium.org";>NL</a> --
      <a href="http://www.es.berlin-consortium.org";>ES</a>
