    And why should it? It’s a proprietary system on a single platform, what right does the EU (or anyone) have to demand that it be anything more than that?

      The same right the EU has to enforce standards in money, electrical plugs, data protection or food safety. Does your country not have laws on what products can and cannot be sold within its borders?

        The only common messaging protocol is SMS, and iMessage supports that

        If RCS becomes a generally supported standard (ie not just Google), then it would be fair to require Apple to support that, as one of many.

        It really seems like the focus on Apple is just a distraction from the larger effort of trying to implement a new standard

      Apple doesn’t have a god-given right to sell their stuff everywhere. If you’re in [area], you abide by [area] rules. It’s that simple.
