I devide all calls on "local" (in one city),
"intercity" (between another cities in one country) and
"international" (to another country).

In Germany calls to another city have another tariff then local calls in
same (one) city, in Russia too.

For example: in Moscow exist node on cell phones (with zero payment for
incoming calls).

Node have the stationary place, so - no roaming.

 MV> It is an excellent example of Europe not being one country.

At cell phone operators... And at "phoneline" operators too, I think.

But back to my question - you have proved that that the country - a
network, but not that that the country - region.
