Mika - Sorry, Ms Ness, but you are not in a position to talk about this subject. The US multi-standard approach has been a contributing factor in the US trailing Europe in digital mobile telephony. Well, I agree that perhaps she was both somewhat tactless (ugly Americanitus - although realistically it isn't confined to Americans), and not completely accounting for the difference between the US and the Europe of 10 years ago, it is still true that there is some benefit to competition between standards. By fostering competition between standards you may get somewhat less efficiency of scale for each standard, but you do get better standards faster than you otherwise would. And now that Europe has deregulated many of their national telephony companies I think there would be much less problem with each country and region within Europe having their own standard. (i.e. I suspect that if they allowed competition between standards they would, within a year or two, still have 2 or 3 systems, each with almost complete European coverage. May the best system win.)
