experience of the rest of the world in wireless

diverse service everywhere, can they be made finally
to dance to the same tune? To allow users the ability
to choose how they wish to communicate? To allow all
of us to use the phones we wish to use?
I've found the right analogy for our experience here:
railroads with a babel of gauges in the mid-19th
century.
