Someone else will have to weigh in on CDMA and different frequency usage, but keep in mind that several different countries use different technologies and/or frequencies. Japan, for instance doesn't even use GSM but W/CDMA. i'm sure each country has a committee like our FCC that determines what radio technologies can be used and how.

Regarding metric versus US measurement usage, i don't know. i prefer metric myself as it converts rather neatly, but it's just not used here outside of the scientific field where it's used religiously. They tried it here in the 60s on the road system, but it was a failure. You will find both systems used on product packaging to indicate weight or volume though.]]>Feb 13th 2008 10:21AM
