English variant in Telecom materials

[Moshe Kruger (AllWrite)]

Hello all,

A company I am servicing is located in the Czech Republic. The company
develops telecom-related software and hardware and provides them mostly to
Pakistan and other countries in Eastern Europe and Central Africa.

The question: There should be a policy decision about the English variant to
use in user documentation.

But which should it be? Looking at the British influence in the regions I
have mentioned, it seems British English is the proper decision ... or
should my thinking tend in the direction of those who maintain that American
English is the de-facto variant in today's hi-tech environments?

Does it matter?

And one last thought: what about marketing collateral used in telecom trade
shows held in the USA?

Please share your experience.

Thanks.
