[edit] Global/International/national physical interface standards for voice and data communication

Much as there are variations in standards around the world for the delivery of electrical power (voltage, frequency, plug design, socket design), there are variations in standards for voice- and data- communications connectivity. The most obvious example of this is the use of different plug and socket designs used for voice telephony, requiring international travellers to carry physical interface converters to allow use of one modem in multiple countries.
