Sounds bad, but I would like to know if there is a technical benefit excluding Listen Before Talk in some countries. Why would an engineer possibly want to turn it off, given that the support has to be developed for those countries that require Listen Before Talk anyway? (The evil megacorp financial reasons are obvious, but let's pretend for the sake of discussion that they are not stupid enough to think that breaking Wi-Fi networks across the country/world will have no PR repercussions -- it will cause massive hassle for everyone.)
