  In this paper I outline a new strategy for the routine detection and imaging
of faint (sub-mJy and microJy) radio sources with VLBI and SVLBI. The strategy
relies on a combination of in-beam phase-referencing, wide-field VLBI imaging
and simultaneous correlation of multiple field centres. A combination of these
techniques, together with the steeply rising radio source counts observed at cm
wavelengths, permit routine high resolution observations of radio sources
previously considered too faint for conventional VLBI.
