    While I agree with the point of these laws, to get everyone on a standard, it’s going to suck when the next, better standard comes along and the are all these laws preventing phones from adopting it

      The EU has appointed a committee to reconsider the standards every couple of years and the law allows changing the standard if they decide to. I’m not sure how Saoudi Arabia will deal with this.
