You obviously haven't seen the international telco's ideas of
approval.  They differ completely from one country to another - for
example, in England they destroy the equipment to see how much it
takes to destroy it (overvoltage and such).  In general, the cost of
approval only makes it interesting for large markets, such as
Germany.  How many international comms products are available in
Portugal or France, for example?
