Spot on Mark.

Think multiple markets or give up.

It's almost impossible to fund developing Australian-use only technology. You need an insane government agency with deep pockets. A government owned national bounty node if you will, who insist on developing special solutions with local certification, like ISUP-A and A-tick and even ADR.

Look how well ADR helped Australian car keep manufacturing special cars just for Australian conditions after global companies worked out how to sell the same car in multiple markets.
