I agree with the other commenter that it sounds a bit like the Fediverse. It’s interesting to think about. I think part of what draws people to any messaging platform is continuity with the other services on the platform. The actual messaging experience can be duplicated or exceeded by anyone, like how RCS has made the humble text message more powerful and compatible than anyone at Apple could comprehend.

With this idea, would any messaging platform that became ultra successful be then required to allow other platforms to message their users? Which platforms are allowed? How is spam managed? What about special privacy features like what’s built in to Signal or Telegram? How do the platforms manage linking to content embedded in other parts of the platform (think Instagram posts/reels/messenger).

There are a lot of difficult issues to work out.

We will be migrated off by September for sure. The price is more than tripled after the circuits were deregulated

We don’t need the bandwidth. We need the physical PRI circuits for our legacy PBX. We will be migrated off by September for sure. The price is more than tripled after the circuits were deregulated.

This seems impossible, they’re charging me 10k/mo for 5 T1 circuits.
