The problem is not marketing worldwide. The problem is marketing in the US since the Bi-national workgroup wants a deviation from the IEC-950 standard. IEC-950 allows TNV circuits that go up to 120 VDC, whereas UL 1950 3rd edition and the proposed revision only allow up to 60 VDC. Also, the voltages are creeping up not going down in telecommunications equipment. So I strongly disagree that this problem will dry up and go away.

We no longer design ICT equipment for anyone geographic location on the globe. The equipment has to be "GLOBALLY" IEC-950 compliant. Most of the equipment you mention does not have a product life that exceeds three years. By that time, newer technology equipment takes over. Hence, there should not be any problem having compliant equipment available and in place by the time UL1950/CSA950 kick in and you should be able to peddle such equipment world-wide.
