All rights reserved Next‐Generation Messaging—The Time is Now Four Critical Questions 1. Is there really a market demand for next‐gen messaging services? 2. Is there a competitive threat to my messaging revenues? 3. Should I (or can I) compete or retreat? 4. How…and when? Copyright ©Interop Technologies 2011. All rights reserved The Demand is Here Mobile subscribers are already using next‐gen messaging services: • Skype—663 million users (Purchased by Microsoft) • Facetime/iMessage (iPhone, iPod touch, and Mac users) • Beluga, GroupMe (purchased by Facebook) • WhatsApp, Yahoo, AIM, Google Talk, MSN, et al. These services offer features such as: • Video chat and conferencing • Group messaging, public and private • Network address book, social and presence information • Synchronize conversation history/messages across devices • Transfer any type of media (video, text, images, files) Copyright ©Interop Technologies 2011. All rights reserved The Landscape is Changing • Open devices, open networks, and software distribution channels (App stores) allow third parties to develop services previously "owned" by network operators. • Skype, Facebook (Beluga/GroupMe), Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc . 9Offer messaging services “over the top”, with little or no revenue potential for the operator. 9As interoperability improves, a substantial threat of revenue loss exists as subscribers choose alternate messaging methods. • New entrant MSOs are launching, offering extended IP‐based messaging that poses a competitive threat. Copyright ©Interop Technologies 2011. All rights reserved The Threat is Real North America: • SMS traffic has been growing at a fast rate due to text messaging bundles, plans, and handsets. • The rate of P2P SMS growth has outpaced that of Europe, but availability of messaging substitutes (messaging apps, IM, and email) will cause traffic to begin to drop between 2011 and 2013. • The all‐you‐can‐eat SMS plans will cause price erosion, resulting in an overall decoupling of volume and revenue.

All rights reserved P2P Traffic is Declining Copyright ©Interop Technologies 2011. All rights reserved The Time is Now • The competitive threat is a clear and present danger. • OTT players are gaining mind and market share. 9 43M Blackberry Messenger (BBM) Users, 100B messages per month, 110% growth rate in last 12 months 9 WhatsApp—Over 20M global users and 1 billion message a day • Legacy platforms have no ability to provide “like” services. • You cannot afford to retreat…so you must compete…you must evolve. Copyright ©Interop Technologies 2011. All rights reserved RCS/RCS‐e What is RCS? Copyright ©Interop Technologies 2011. All rights reserved RCS‐e RCS‐e (“e” for Enhanced) is a simple and interoperable evolution to voice and text aimed at improving RCS time to market . RCS‐e enables customers to: • Send instant messages • Video chat • Exchange files in real time Copyright ©Interop Technologies 2011. All rights reserved The Industry is Moving…Slowly Operators launching RCS‐e include: • Deutsche Telekom (Germany 1H 2012) • Orange (Spain and France 1H 2012) • Telecom Italia (Italy early 2012) • Telefonica (Spain and Germany 1H 2012) • Vodafone (Spain and Germany early 2012) • 14 EU countries in 2012, Korea and South America No commercial launches to date Copyright ©Interop Technologies 2011. All rights reserved Why the Delay? No economic driver •Existing messaging services are well adopted and profitable •Operators have large investments in legacy messaging infrastructure •Operators need to protect the ROI on this investment Per spec, RCS requires an IMS infrastructure •Wholesale change to the network •Expensive investment 9 Capital 9 Engineering resources •Dubious ROI Copyright ©Interop Technologies 2011. All rights reserved Interop’s Solution: RCS without IMS RCS‐e solution available without need for fully deployed IMS architecture •Gives operators RCS compliant solution, not “RCS‐like” features 9 Instant messaging 9 Group messaging 9 Multimedia sharing •Enables operators to compete with over‐the‐top players today •Supports legacy messaging technology for ubiquitous user experience •Seamlessly integrates with IMS core if and when operator is ready Copyright ©Interop Technologies 2011.

All rights reserved Don’t Replace…Evolve • Legacy investment is in the ground and will be serviceable for years. • New investments for existing subscriber messaging growth and next‐generation subscriber growth should be made in a technology that enables the future. • This technology investment will need to: 1. Support simultaneous Wi‐Fi, LTE, CDMA, and GSM delivery 9 Multi‐protocol support 9 Multi‐dimensional routing 2. Support backward and forward compatibility 9 Interworking of next‐gen and legacy messaging methodologies o Binary over MMS o Text over SMS 3.

  • Facebook Response to the ACCC's Digital Platform Services Inquiry
    Facebook response to the ACCC’s Digital Platform Services Inquiry September 2020 Interim Report 8 March 2021 Executive Summary The growth in the use of messaging apps (private messaging services as referred to in the Digital Platform Services Inquiry (D SPI) Interim Report September 2020 (I nterim Report )) has been one of the key trends of the digital ecosystem in recent years, and this has accelerated during the COVID 19 pandemic as many families, friends and workplaces have used small group conversations and direct messaging to stay in touch. Many different competitive solutions have been developed to respond to this consumer demand - whether it is pre-installed and default messaging apps like iMessage and Android Messages which also have exclusive access to support SMS as well as their own proprietary protocols (along with similar device maker SMS solutions); the wide variety of downloadable apps offering messaging services such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Snapchat, Discord, TikTok, Twitch or Google Chat (among others); or enterprise platforms such as Slack, Teams and Google Hangouts. Given the important role that messaging apps play in keeping Australian households connected and work colleagues productive, the inquiry as part of the DPSI by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission ( ACCC ) into private messaging is timely. Following the release of the Interim Report, Facebook provides this submission in order to set forth its concerns with the conclusions reached in the Interim Report. In the Interim Report, the ACCC finds that Facebook’s online private messaging services (Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp) are not “competitively constrained” by other private messaging services, implying that - even though there is a broad array of competing private messaging services - they do not provide effective competition against Facebook’s services.

  • Apps & Online Platforms
    Apps & Online Platforms Options to Interact with Children & Young Adults Apps and Platforms: A Range of Options CASA of Franklin County understands that 2020 has been a unique challenge and we continue to look for creative ways to interact with our children online. CASA GALs come from different generations, careers, and backgrounds. We know not everyone is a technical wiz and that new online tools can be difficult to learn and use, so CASA created this handy user-guide. Most are entirely free, and others are a monthly subscription. While CASA cannot provide funding for specific apps at this time, we still wanted to include a range of options to show GALs what is possible, as some features in paid apps can be replicated by the GAL in free apps. Notices and Disclaimers: While CASA of Franklin County has created this Apps & Platforms user guide, we are not endorsing or recommending any one program over another: every GAL uses different tools and has different virtual comfort levels. Additionally, CASA of Franklin County, National CASA/GAL Association for Children, Ohio CASA, Franklin County Board of Commissioners, or Franklin County Court of Common Pleas are not proponents of, and do not recommend or endorse these Apps & Platforms. If a GAL wishes to interact with the child(ren) they work with on these platforms, they must first seek the permission of the child(ren)’s custodian and notice to the caregiver. As with all use of personal devices, the GAL remains responsible for ensuring that GAL communications are confidential. GALs may not record virtual interactions with children and must ensure that location and security settings are calculated to maintain confidentiality.

Contents 1 Groupy Documentation, Release 0.5.3 2 Contents CHAPTER 1 Table of Contents 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 About GroupMe GroupMe is a messaging app that allows you to create groups and have others join them with you. In addition to group messaging, fellow group members can be messaged directly. GroupMe is available for most platforms, lets you share links, images, and locations, and messages can be favorited (or “liked”). You can read more about GroupMe, but the best part about it is that they provide an API! The GroupMe API is documented, but there are some notable omissions. Many of the properties of groups and messages are not documented, and some features are only hinted at by the documentation. Regardless, all of the infor- mation about your groups, their members, their messages, you, and your bots can be obtained through the GroupMe API. You can read the API documentation for more (or less) detailed information.

  • A New Era of Workplace Communications: Will You Lead Or Be Left Behind?
    A NEW ERA OF WORKPLACE COMMUNICATIONS: WILL YOU LEAD OR BE LEFT BEHIND? A No Jitter Industry Insights Report Sponsored by Executive Summary As companies look to institute new strategies for business communications, team messaging and collaboration applications are increasingly becoming important elements of a broader strategy. Results from the No Jitter 2018 Team Collaboration Survey bear this out. Of the 160 primarily U.S.-based enterprise IT professionals who participated in the survey, more than 95% say team messaging and collaboration apps are a necessary component of their future communications strategy. Forty-one percent of respondents were from companies with 1,000+ employees, 43% were from companies with between 100 and 999 employees, and 16% were from companies with fewer than 100 employees.

Today’s knowledge workers are more distributed, highly mobile, and expect to have communications and collaboration capabilities at their fingertips. But the expectations are changing: being able to shoot off a text, send an email, or ring a business colleague from a smartphone no longer suffices.
