Roaming
The C-Netz's C450 standard was a heterogeneous cellular system that inhibited International roaming. France used the RadioCom 2000 analog standard while Denmark, the Netherlands and Switzerland used the NMT-450 analog standard.
Austria's own C-Netz system utilized the NMT standard, not C450. This differs from previous systems used in Austria (A-Netz, B-Netz) that were based on German standards.

Famous quotes containing the word roaming:
“Taught from their infancy that beauty is woman’s sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and, roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison. Men have various employments and pursuits which engage their attention, and give a character to the opening mind; but women, confined to one, and having their thoughts constantly directed to the most insignificant part of themselves, seldom extend their views beyond the triumph of the hour.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“When a lady of wealth, is seen roaming about in search of cheaper articles, or trying to beat down a shopkeeper, or making a close bargain with those she employs, the impropriety is glaring to all minds. A person of wealth has no occasion to spend time in looking for extra cheap articles; her time could be more profitably employed in distributing to the wants of others. And the practice of beating down tradespeople, is vulgar and degrading, in any one.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
