SMS use cools off

While the telco operators are disrupting other industries (with digital content, online payment, etc.), they themselves are being disrupted by messaging apps and social network. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by this news, but I sort of was. The SMS has been such a force — but now there are so many more ways to get your voice heard by a large number of people.

The WSJ Online article linked above also reports that Google is working on an Android messaging app — similar to RIM’s BlackBerry Messenger (which only works among BlackBerry devices) and Apple’s newly announced iMessage (which only works among Apple iOS devices). Remember 15 years ago when you can only send SMS to numbers from the same telco operator as you? Apparently we’ll be having the same problem again in the near future — except it will be with mobile platforms.
