No, you be that guy. As many gripes as I have with USB, the EU forcing all phone manufacturers to use a common charging standard was huge. This is the kind of thing where government action really can improve on a Nash equilibrium.

Right, but that is entirely unrelated to USB working -- the regulation exists long after USB had proven itself.. because it had proven itself.
