   I have generally found the claim that "rest of the world exclusively   
   uses GSM" to be patently false. Everywhere in the rest of the world that   
   I have visited often which includes places in both Europe and Asia in   
   addition to GSM it is not at all difficult to find CDMA service.   
      
   Of course as we move on to LTE and 4 together with multi-system   
   capability built into phones slowly these issues will probably become   
   less and less visible to the customer, unless of course telcos screw   
   customer to imprison consumers within a single franchise.
