The International Association for the telecommunications industry Wireless (CTIA) has announced the sidelines of the exhibition of the same name, it had to adopt a single standard for outputs (input / output) Of mobile electronic devices.
The promise of lower prices
« This initiative complements the decision to define a universal charger. Both will benefit our users. By simplifying the hardware features on mobile electronic devices, manufacturers realize economies of scale that will affect the final costs to consumers “, Said Steve Largent, president of CTIA, which includes hundreds of members (service providers, operators, manufacturers, etc..).
Two outputs, a micro-USB and audio with a diameter of 3.5 mm, will equip all electronic devices.
The announcement goes beyond the wishes of the European Commission, Which in June 2009 had received a formal commitment of the ten largest mobile phone manufacturers to equip their products with a universal charger, based on a micro-USB made as early as 2010.
