IFAST
IFAST is an acronym for the International Forum on ANSI-41 Standards Technology. This organization is the coordinator for the allocation of System Identification Numbers (SID) for wireless communication outside Canada, the United States and territories, and on the assignment of International Roaming mobile identification numbers (MINs), or IRM, for use in cellular mobile devices.
SID
The SID lets mobile phones that conform to the TIA Cellular or PCS Standard analog, CDMA or TDMA standards recognize when they are in their home system vs. roaming or in another system that can provide them with service.
IFAST inherited the assignment of SID ranges to countries and has continued the allocation of blocks to countries that need more codes or that were never assigned a block (e.g., because the country was not independent when the blocks were first assigned in the 1980s). IFAST considers it the responsibility of national telecom regulators to assign SID codes to individual wireless systems, but IFAST will perform this function when the national regulator is unwilling or unable to do so. IFAST also allocates SID ranges to international carriers, such as international mobile satellite carriers and companies that provide cellular service through base stations on boats.

Waiting Room
by: OffsetLay down it's late now
The medicine is kicking in
Or could it be something else
You're wearing thin
You're wearing thin
Breathe in and breathe out
The harmonies of charred black wounds
Playing time with the rhthym
In this room I can wait too long
If it's time to go
Will you stop to tell me?
In this room all that's left is hope
Will I wait alone?
Will you ever tell me?
Slow down and fade out
Come tomorrow time will tell
Will it keep holding out?
I'm wearing thin
I'm wearing thin
Hands down and hands out
I'm holding on until you go
But this I ask of you
Don't let me wait too long
Don't let me wait too long
In this room I can wait too long
If it's time to go
Will you stop to tell me?
In this room all that's left is hope
Will I wait alone?
Will you ever tell me?
And it's so hard to see you smile
As you're choking on every breath
And you're waning
And I'm waiting now
Just don't let me wait too long
In this room I can wait too long
If it's time to go
Will you stop to tell me?
In this room all thats left is hope
Will I wait alone?
Will you ever tell me?
In this room I can't wait too long
When it's time to go
Will you stop to tell me?
In this room all that's left is hope
