This sounds like the Canadization of the US. (I find Canadians very smug people! and they also think that they are different!!) This type of insularity was very commom a few years back in Germany and Japan. To pretend that they were different than some other people gave us some pretty funny things. Japanese said they had short gut and could not diggest meat, hence the US trying to open the Japanese market for beef wouldn't succeede. Germans, most of the times started a phrase with: "Bei uns..." "For us..." and so it went things that worked in other countries didn't work there. Well, them came a phenomenon called globalization and today even the beloved Deutschmark is set to die in 2002. They didn't own shares, today, Internet banks are the rage and judging by what I read it seems they invented the stock market!! With wireless in the USA is going to be the same, in a few years this matters of location and coverage will be dealt with. The only thing that I really believe the US wouldn't change is about calling volume in gallons and dimensions in inches, pounds and stuff like that. If a B747 can build using these dimensions I think it doesn't need to change.
