=== Universal Charging System ===
In February 2009, OMTP expanded its Local Connectivity specification (based on [[micro-USB]]) to describe requirements for a common charger and common connector to enable sharing the same battery charger through different phones. The OMTP Common Charging and Local Data Connectivity<ref>[http://www.gsma.com/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/omtpcommonchargingandlocaldataconnectivityv1.1.pdf OMTP Common Charging and Local Data Connectivity]</ref> was adopted by [[GSM Association]] in the Universal Charging System (UCS) initiative. This has been further endorsed by the [[CTIA - The Wireless Association|CTIA]]<ref>[http://www.ctia.org/media/press/body.cfm/prid/1817 CTIA–The Wireless Association Announces One Universal Charger Solution to Celebrate Earth Day]</ref> and the [[ITU]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.itu.int/newsroom/press_releases/2009/49.html|title=Press Release: Universal phone charger standard approved -
One-size-fits-all solution will dramatically cut waste and GHG emissions|author=pressinfo|work=itu.int|accessdate=21 May 2015}}</ref> In June, 2009 the [[European Commission]] reached an agreement with several major mobile phone providers on requirements for a [[common External Power Supply]] (EPS) to be compatible with new data-enabled phones sold in the [[European Union]]. The EPS shares most of the key attributes of the UCS charger.<ref>http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/rtte/chargers.htm</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/rtte/files/chargers/chargers_annex_ii_to_mou_january_12_2010_en.pdf|title=Annex II, Technical Annex to MoU regarding the Harmonisation of a Charging Capability for Mobile Phones |format=PDF |date=2010-01-12 |accessdate=2011-02-26}}</ref> === Wholesale Applications Community ===
In June 2010, the OMTP transitioned itself into the new Wholesale Applications Community. All OMTP activities ceased at that time and were either taken over within the WAC organisation or other standards or industry associations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mobileeurope.co.uk/Press-Wire/omtp-announces-final-documents-prior-to-transition-into-wholesale-application-community|title=OMTP announces final documents prior to transition into Wholesale Application Community|author=Keith Dyer|work=mobileeurope.co.uk|accessdate=21 May 2015}}</ref> In turn, in July 2012 WAC itself was closed, with the OMTP standards being transferred to [[GSMA]], and other assets and personnel transferring to Apigee.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/17/wac-whacked-telecom-backed-alliance-merges-into-gsma-assets-acquired-by-api-management-service-apigee/|title=WAC Whacked: Telecom-Backed Alliance Merges Into GSMA, Assets Acquired By API Management Service Apigee|author=Sarah Perez|publisher=AOL|work=TechCrunch|accessdate=21 May 2015}}</ref>
