In America the carriers controlled the market and the device manufacturers where beholden to them. In Europe it was the other way around.


This is slightly off-topic, but I remember reading about a European initiative for a standard mobile charger a while back. Did that actually happen?


Yes and no. There is a standard (microUSB) but they don't have to adopt it. The devices makers just have to make sure there is an adaptor to microUSB for their device is available (they don't even have to ship it with their device, just has to have one in the market somewhere). So much for standards I guess.


USB micro?
