BBC News - Europe backs call for universal smartphone charger

So this is a great example of why marketshare matters. If Apple had had the marketshare, it would not be forced to conform to the Micro-USB standard now.
The actual changes will not take affect till 2016. I wonder how Apple will handle this...will they make all iPhones Micro-USB? Or will they fragment and have two different standards for each market?
