As far as I know of, the electrical systems were developed independently 
during the late 19th century in Europe and North America. There is no 
real firstcomer, so there is not much point in discussing why the later 
ones did not follow them.

You are maybe right if you say these 4% make an audible difference, but 
don't forget that most of the people (including me) without absolute 
audition do not notice it. Not unless the repeating problems with 
telecine you see in every video-related mailing list. It seems that it 
causes problems for more people than the 4% frame rate increase. The 
best would be to use the same frame rate for film and broadcast, that's 
why a common, better standard might help.
