Dan's "Rules" ... << Then it doesn't make the list.. go back and read the rules. >> I think you should perhaps reread them Dan. Why don't you name ONE government mandated product standard in the U.S.? For a product that was not a public utility such as electricity or telephone. Use as your guide the number of Government mandated standards in Europe. If they mandated it, you can't include it in your list. I know you can't count cell-phones amongst them. Let's go back to your question ... Why don't you name ONE government mandated product standard in the U.S.? The answer remains ... AT&T's AMPS. The U.S. FCC created 850 MHz spectrum for cellular services and licensed it for use with AMPS to 2 operators -- an A carrier determined by lottery and a B carrier (RBOCs) in every piece of geography (MSA's and BSA's) in the US, and prohibited the use of any technology other than AMPS in that spectrum until IS-54 TDMA completed standardization in 1992 and standardized IS-95 CDMA went pre-commercial in 1994. - Eric -
