Re: The Ryanair model
Possibly, though Ryanair has repeatedly lost in court of synthetic charges. But for consumer electronics that need charging it's only justifiable if appropriate standardised charging devices are available, ie. not manufacturer-specific ones.
But maybe customers will get a choice (with a synthetic discount if you don't want one, which justifies the price of the standalone one), which is probably the best approach.
