In 1982, the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) created the (GSM) to develop a standard for a mobile telephone system that could be used across Europe.In 1987, a memorandum of understanding was signed by 13 countries to develop a common cellular telephone system across Europe.

In 1989, GSM responsibility was transferred to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and phase I of the GSM specifications were published in 1990.

So in general we can say that GSM is originated from Europe but now its global standard for all countries.
