Special Correspondent NEW DELHI: 'One charger for all mobile phones' will be the future, as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a United Nations body, has approved the new Universal Charging Solution (UCS). The step will help mobile companies cut costs and also help reduce e-waste. "Every user will benefit from the new UCS, which enables the same charger to be used for all future handsets, regardless of make and model. In addition to dramatically cutting the number of chargers produced, shipped and subsequently discarded, the new standard will mean users worldwide will be able to charge mobiles anywhere from any available charger, and reduce the energy consumed while charging," ITU said in a statement.
