The internet+printing on site option seem to be the right idea. For example, The Economist climb up to U$ 219 for Argentina against U$ 129 for the states.

The funny thing is that the publishing company, Condé-Nast, did not seem to do any effort to invite me to renew my subscription. So after a year, my subscription expired without any notice. Have you considered this alternative way to get a subscription to Wired: for $35, become a subscriber of www.salon.com. You'll get a free subscription to Wired Magazine. O sh*t, it's only valid for people with a U.S. address. I have had a subscription to Wired a few times.

It is true... We would like to read Wired I would not say at the US price, but let's say 50 euros... If I can give you an advice, if you work in a US company, you can ask Wired to send your copy to the HQ and then by internal mail send it back in Belgium(using a mail stop) :-) It is the way I do when I buy books in the USA... The problem is that the magazine will be put in my(physical) mailbox :-) and my colleagues can steal my copy---or let's say borrow it :-) :-) Or we can find a bookshop in Belgium... But is it not 7 euros a copy ? That's a complete shame... Or we can buy one and share it :-) See you, Rudy Hey ! It is true… We would like to read Wired I would not say at the US price, but let’s say 50 euros…

Excellent point--$70 does seem like a lot. I'll talk to our circ people and find out why that is, and whether we can't lower it. Chris Anderson, editor of Wired here:
