Comment on Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple

  Okay but their implementation is what they are touting. The standard RCS protocol is only marginally better than sms. Google constantly uses encryption in their ad campaigns for RCS, which is exclusive to to googles implementation. There is no way anyone is going to get Apple to work on an implementation that interoperates with Google

    No idea, but that has nothing to do with anything. Considering that the standard is public and free (unlike ISO stuff bte), that most relevant telecoms support it, and that a lot of phone manufacturers have a custom client that does support it, it’s not remotely close to being closed sourced, and service-authentication-gated like iMessages.

      You are confusing open source with free-as-in-price. Open source is a development philosophy, not a price tag.

        I’m not confusing it, I’m just used to them being paired. Ya know… FOSS… as are others.
