Abstract
A recently proposed topological mechanism for the quantization of the charge gives the value e_0=\sqrt{\hbar c} for both the fundamental electric and magnetic charges. It is argued that the corresponding fine structure constant \alpha_0=1/4pi could be interpreted as its value at the unification scale.
