But that's only from the official GSM Website. I guess Issa's web browser has some cool time-travel facility.
I've been in the mobile industry (among others) for 5 years. It is simply untrue that GSM is "commonly understood" to stand for anything other then Global System. To claim anything else is a lie.
The system was not develeped "by the French." It was developed by a consortium largely made up of Scandinavians. There was as much input from Motorola as there was from Alcatel. The same amount. This is a bare-faced lie. Why not mention this?
Oh, and Zaphod? Your techy, crapping on about the superior system from his country? Just a shrill voice, jealous of the Europeans (God, it's easy being a neo-con).

What do the initials GSM stand for?
Global System for Mobile Communications
