There was a World called GSM. There was another World called CDMA. The world was divided. But now, they are united under LTE. Surely I know there are FDD LTE and TD-LTE. But it was not fundamentally different.

Yeah, it would have been nice to see a single band plan and mobile technology for the planet. It won't ever happen because the DoD, Qualcomm, and other powerful special interests in the US. 

 

Even if the rest of the world changed to ITU Zone 1 we'd resist. That's due to the DoD more than anything else.

you mean kinda like how the US will not go with the rest of the world and use SI units. why u ask? cuz we like using units that cannot be converted easily and half the time no one has any clue what they are.

Metric.

 

I forgot to mention Europe's adoption of GSM wasn't a clean and clear process either. :)

 

Tech me some history. Or post it on Wikipedia

Speaking of unity, the European Union is about to heavily regulate with the intent of eventual abolition of roaming charges between compatible carriers within its member countries.

Should I buy stock in France Telecom / Orange? (FTE)

I'd be happy if I could roam on LTE on the other major US carriers. There's so many frequencies for LTE worldwide that I doubt we'll ever have truly global roaming.  :(

      Roaming experience in Japan

      By cooltech6597 · Posted

      In China now and roaming on China Mobile with Google Fi/TMUS. 5G is enabled on roaming, however most areas in China have NSA disabled on the network. so SA is the only way to get 5G. This is only possible using a native SIM from the Chinese carriers. Also, LTE CA is disabled on basically every site, except for a few I've come across while on the bullet train.   I'm lucky enough to be in a small town where NSA is still enabled on China mobile, so I'm able to have a decent experience while roaming. Haven't speedtested much but it seems to top out at 300mbps over roaming on b3 + n41 100mhz. The networks here are dense AF and every site seems to have midband 5G deployed. Also, interesting to see that most sites have antennas branded by the carrier, or painted a certain color (which I haven't figured out what that means yet).

      My S21FE, which is my primary phone, has burned in quite a bit from SCP.  Not sure I could get a good picture of it, so I won't try.  Helpfully, since SCP allows full customization of app colors, I'm going to see if I can't undo it a bit by flipping the colors. https://imgur.com/a/QQr5Ncv We'll see how long my eyes tolerate the change... - Trip
