    Also I’m not sure why everyone is championing RCS - it’s yet another proprietary communication standard like iMessage and isn’t open thus can’t be easily implemented in other chat apps.

    My guy, this entire article is about Google and Samsung trying to convince Apple to adopt RCS.

    Is a completely open standard better? Yeah, absolutely.

    Would RCS basically create unified rich communication for virtually everyone? Also yes.

      RCS isn’t open at all in practice and anyone who wants to put the carriers (or more likely Google) in control of messaging is a moron.
