What's cute? The Philippines, where they use standard US-type
receptacles -- with 240 volts. The receptacles that I looked at were
all rated at 10A.
I think the US is paying the price of being "early-adopters".
And I don't think the US standard will change- the current (no pun
intended) system is too well entrenched, and the costs would outway the
very real advantages. Note that the Japanese use very similar voltage
and receptacles.
