Jeffrey, "to be determined by market forces" - sounds so good and idealistic. Almost as if consumers are involved. But consumers in the world e.g. in India and China did chose GSM over CDMA, still do, even though it was originally mandated by governments in Europe. Edit: Must be all the models, price points, the battery capacity, the roaming and the SIM cards (e.g. allowing an effective market for used cell phones). Even in the US, elected representatives represent consumers as a group. Take HD Radio as a recent example: "HD Radio is the brand name of a method of digital transmission of audio on the FM and AM radio bands. The technology was developed by iBiquity Digital Corporation. The Federal Communications Commission selected HD (Hybrid Digital) Radio as the standard for local area broadcast of signals within the United States." "HD Radio stations must pay royalties each year to iBiquity, plus the costs paid by the manufacturers of the transmitters which are then passed along to the stations that buy them." en.wikipedia.org
