Why no default frequency for powerlines?

Things aren't that simple everywhere. Electricity transmission in Japan is divided for historical reasons into two regions each running at a different frequency. Eastern Japan runs at 50 Hz, while Western Japan runs at 60 Hz.

I don't know if you're allowed to do that: AFAIK, Kindle book format requires DRM, and Creative Commons licenses (like the one used for OSM) explicitly prohibit the application of DRM to CC-licensed content.
