Reuters On Telephone Cultures

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the all-kinds-to-make-the-worm-turn dept.

mamladm writes "Reuters has an interesting article about the Differences in Telephone Cultures between the US and Europe. It describes how the different regulatory frameworks have created distinct cultures on how telephones are being used in the US versus Europe. The article mainly discusses mobile phone usage, though."

    A little known difference between the French and American cell phone culture; In France, it's actually considered polite to talk on your cell phone during a movie. Because French movies suck.

    Seriously. No explosions or Ben Affleck or anything. It's usually just people sitting around smoking and eating cheese in black and white. Who wouldn't want to talk through that ?
