    I’m not sure if I want Google to be the ones to do that. Ideally there would be some involvement from a proper standardization body like ITU.

    But in my shallow understanding of RCS, it seems like a good candidate. I thought I read that Apple was starting to roll it out this year…

      Yeah, that’s fair. I just meant they’ve built RCS, and kinda presented it as a replacement, but it’s a walled garden they’ve built, unlike SMS.

      I didn’t know Apple might roll it out! That’d be cool! Though really what I want is just the possibility of an open source client

      They have rolled it out pretty extensively. My various conversations with Apple folks have all switched over.
