Oh, c'mon, GSM came later. And it was mostly Europe that decided to use an
international standards-making process because of the relatively small
countries; I don't recall any other part of the world being involved.

I have no idea why you would state it's superior. As it happens, I'm a
T-Mobile subscriber (using an AT&T cell phone), but sound quality isn't
all that brilliant and I lose coverage plenty of times when indoors.
