    One thing I think people are expecting is that, say, all WhatsApp users will suddenly by free to chat with all iMessage users. All these laws will require is that the services publish APIs that third parties can use. My guess is we’ll see more services like Beeper that let you hook into iMessage, WhatsApps, RCS, etc from a single interface. Maybe WhatsApp and iMessage will eventually federate with each other but I doubt it and the law doesn’t require it.

      I didn’t think the DMA would affect me for some time, but then it struck me that I will finally be able to interact with all the people using WhatsApp (there are a lot), so I’m excited to see how that will go.
