I don't think "proudly" and the idea originated in other places

Edit: I don't find li a particularly good idea, but afaiu etsi had to follow the legislation, that had been put in place - and the driver was iirc not even Europe

Indeed @lobingera, the idea can be traced back to an infamous meeting in Quantico VA in 1993. But from 1996 all backdoor requirements originated in Sophia Antipolis, France. The technical specifications are produced by this ITU group called 3GPP SA3LI. Here are their latest doqs from July
