GSM is the acronym for ’Global System for Mobile Telecommunications’. Australia runs on GSM 900Mhz frequency, so be sure to check that your phone will also support a GSM 900Mhz frequency. GSM phones will have a place to insert a SIM [subscriber identity module] card behind or below the battery back. The SIM card holds all of your account information including your phone number and call credit and allows you to connect to the local networks as opposed to roaming back to your home country. By having a different SIM card for different countries, you save on international roaming costs. 5, record 9, English, - GSM%20phone

The video-on-demand model takes advantage of some form of two-way communication between the home and the video source, which could be a low-bandwidth back channel on a CATV path or a phone line with sufficient bandwidth to carry a compressed video signal. The home may be furnished with a low-cost box, which accepts signals from a hand-held control and which transmits the appropriate status to the video control center. The viewer uses the hand-held control to navigate a selection menu and choose a program. Shortly after the selection is made, the program begins playing. During the course of the movie the viewer is able to pause, reposition, and use other VCR-like controls. 2, record 14, English, - video%2Don%2Ddemand%20channel
