This excerpt taken from the WBMD 8-K filed Jul 2, 2009.
Expansion to markets outside the United States will subject us to additional risks
 
One element of our growth strategy is to seek to expand our online services to markets outside the United States. Generally, we expect that we would accomplish this through partnerships or joint ventures with other companies having expertise in the specific country or region. However, our participation in international markets will still be subject to certain risks beyond those applicable to our operations in the United States, such as:
 
  •  difficulties in staffing and managing operations outside of the United States;
 
  •  fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
 
  •  burdens of complying with a wide variety of legal, regulatory and market requirements;
 
  •  variability of economic and political conditions, including the extent of the impact of recent adverse economic conditions in markets outside the United States;
 
  •  tariffs or other trade barriers;
 
  •  costs of providing and marketing products and services in different markets;
 
  •  potentially adverse tax consequences, including restrictions on repatriation of earnings; and
 
  •  difficulties in protecting intellectual property.
