It would be a fantastic outcome of this case if the use of closed standards and lack of integration APIs in a high-market-share product gave rise to a presumption of monopolistic practices. That is obviously what drives the lack of integration points with iMessage and other messaging services, but right now there is no consequence. If it were codified, even in a court precedent, it might be enough to get these systems to start playing nicely again. Remember the days when you could write a client that would connect to most online chat services? I want those days back. (To be clear, I guess this is wishful thinking. But I would be happy if it came to pass.) Even better would be a requirement to provide interoperability APIs at a legislative level, but I guess that will be a long time coming.
