Allright then, let's think about this logicly. The two most active and
productive regions where net yaroze is being sold not has run out of
units, and seems to be going strong. The least productive branch has
just 'ran out' of units - that least productive branch being north
america. North america was also the last to start the net yaroze
program.

I donno, I haven't heard anything. A cap is very likely.... It costs
quite a bit to manufacture such special units. So we just might have
'run out' of units, and have no hope of being restocked.
