IMNSHO, the difference is to ensure that the local version is sufficiently
crippled to not provide serious competition for the less than competent
among the local manufacturers.

This case grows stronger by the day, as more and more outlandish crippling
misfeatures appear in putatively "improved for Australian
conditions" modems - and do NOT appear in the original models before
the damage is done.
