Andy, I've always wondered this as well. Similar scenario, although not necessarily egress in a foreign country, but transiting through. For a brief period, we had an OC48 that carried packets on our network between Chicago and Seattle that traversed a router of ours in Vancouver, BC Canada. Any legal minds here that may know the answer?
