In this case they haven’t locked you out from the sms/mms standard

Being bad for customers and worthy of government intervention are two different things.

Should Nintendo, PSX, and Xbox be forced to put their games on other platforms?
quote:No, but we are not talking about a game. We are talking about a method of communication that a billion people depend on.
Pokémon is a big lock in for Nintendo, should we get involved with that?
Imagine if Apple had hijacked voice calls the way they did SMS. iPhone to iPhone makes iCalls (but placed just like regular calls, "seamless"), but then when someone switches to a different phone people can't call him anymore until he figures out what the hell Apple did to break this universal system.
So you have highlighted the problem with a bull-headed free-markets-solve-all anti-regulation mentality: critical communications infrastructure is treated the same as a fricking video game.

You have a point here, but this point is applicable to allowing seamless transition off of iMessage and back to SMS/MMS. I agree this needs to be easy to get off of iMessage. This doesn’t mean RCS should be required though.
