With this kind of legislation, why would anyone invest in creating a connector they cannot market? This pretty much enforces an "end of history" kind of USB-c connector standard.
I can see things moving more to the wireless realm (Qi for loading, WiFi/Bluetooth/LoRa for data) after this.
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoEU's legislation is only for battery charged mobile devices and accessories, not laptops or anything beyond tablets. EU also considers every few years different connectors.
- DocTomoe 4y agoWhat connectors will the EU consider if no-one is willing to invest money to create them?
- makeitdouble 4y ago> why would anyone invest in creating a connector they cannot market? Would a new proprietary charging connector sold and controlled by a single private entity be a good thing for consumers or the market ? Having that company be forced to go discuss with the regulators first if they want to push to market looks like a decent safeguard to me.
