Another very important issue is that not everyone is in the US. Most of the 
decent professional-level hosting companies are in the US, and for those of 
us in Canada and other countries the exchange rate is a monthly reminder of 
how badly we would like to be paying a local company IN OUR OWN CURRENCY.

How would you feel to have to pay a 40-60% premium on all your web hosting 
services just because the web hosting industry in your region was too 
unstable and unprofessional to provide a decent, reliable service, and some 
currency trader decided to take profits that week?
