What's to stop apple from using their own servers in accordance with the published specs from the GSMA, the industry nonprofit that started and steers the project by committee? Im not putting it past google to be a monopoly either, but I can't find any info that suggests apple is being shut out of doing it themselves. ATT has their own implementation away from googles RCS servers, or at least used to.

They essentially showed the market their firm cap for revenue, and the market was like 'uhh thats it?'
And yet you still omit the very same words you omitted from the beginning. I get it though, you have no arguement if you acknowledge it was in the very same sentence qualifying my statement you wanna be mad at, keep digging friend. How many times are you gonna ignore it? Also how are you gonna use quotes if you don't copy the actual sentence and just put your own period in it before my real sentence ended? You as good at citing things as you are at logic.
You literally ignored half of the sentence you have a problem with so you could be contrarian. Odd.
Yep, my entire post was about was about TimewornTraveler and no one else. Its definitely all your fault. Pay no attention to the fact that I said 'for believing tech bros' which would exclude anyone who didn't believe tech bros from the statement, Instead just get upset about nothing.
So then the answer isn't "its a google monopoly" its 'google choose to work with the nonprofit and we didn't'. Im sure the 1200 company strong industry nonprofit would have loved to have apple at the table for a collaborative development on an open standard. They've done it before with usb c, they chose not to. If anything google would be asserting monopoly over other people who choose to provide RCS services, not anyone that chooses not to. I get it though, if I was Apple I'd be terrified of having to compete with googles net infrastructure, they would lose unless they got amazon on their team.
