The transition from SMS to RCS has introduced significant concerns regarding the lack of free peering, which critics argue creates a restrictive, closed ecosystem on a global scale. While security is frequently cited as the primary justification for these limitations, there is a strong perspective that it serves as a pretext to stifle competition and hinder new business innovation. For a community of builders and developers, these structural barriers represent a major obstacle that could ultimately suppress the very technological progress the protocol was intended to foster.
