[enum-wg] delivering SMS beyond mobile phones

Hello,

Thanks for the responses.  My question is thoroughtly answered:

My idea for accepting SMS on an Internet server was of course
technically inspired; I already was a bit weary about acceptance
in the IETF and from the sound of it, this is not going to be
easy.  More importantly, I had thought about the opportune
delivery of SMS to a broader network (creating money for the
telco's from which they were sent) but not about the ability
to also bypass the same SMS-sending mechanism.  This does
indeed give a strong incentive to telco's to not support it.

Given that mobile users are discovering chat (although they
still accept lock-in XMPP providers like FaceBook) I think we
are already moving away from the problems of lock-in messaging.
With that in mind, it may actually be safe to simply ignore SMS'
closed setup.  (It may even be a reason for countries or markets
to demand network neutrality!)


Cheers,
 -Rick
