    Leider sind die Englisch sprachigen Folgen in der Tonqualität so minder, dass ich diese im Auto nicht vollständig hören konnte - sehr schade! Auch muss ich sagen war ich von der Kommunikationfähigkeit der Amerikanischen Kollegen überrascht - an sich haben sie den Ruf gut reden zu können…. also hier sind wir ihnen nicht nur technologisch voraus😃
