[quote]This doesn't work. Messaging involves you and another person. I can't simply use what I want, because in order for the other person to get it they have to be using it as well.

[quote]So your argument is to make everyone use multiple platforms?[/quote]
No, my point is use what you want to use, this doesn't require government interference. Competition is there, there are multiple options for everyone to use. The needed regulatory stuff is built into SMS/MMS. ...

Adopt what? I rarely use text messaging. SMS/MMS is used because it is effective in what it does through the carrier. It's not going to be retired for awhile. Adopt other forms of messaging that are as cutting edge like the rest...

[quote]Apple loyalist have been conditioned to think this is some kind of competition where they win a prize if at the end of the day apple wins "the phone wars".

[quote]Apple can adopt RCS and still have green bubbles. It’s the sms that’s the issue for me. If Apple can not adopt another tech outside of sms then yes, they need to open up iMessage. [/quote]
Why? There are all kinds of internet based messaging services out there.

It would take a big culture and leadership change. They are content to throw away money for the message as it is right now.
Someone like Favreau could do it if they left him to do his thing and take it in the direction he wants, but they rather make the toxic fans mad instead of telling good s...
