I'm curious that a similar movement has not been started over something like whatsapp, in my experience, the vast amount of my friends (in the 20-25 year old region) use Whatsapp almost exclusively, and almost always using a 3g connection. It means they have to pay only for data.
I assume whatsapp would be harder to detect and stop, but its a wonder that mobile vendors are not up in arms.
The day is coming when someone will arrive with a new type of carrier, Data. That is all. calls,sms everything is handled through the web.
- mseebach 14y agoWhatsapp uses XMPP, so trivial to intercept and block. I think it has to do with challenging BlackBerry and BBMs dominance in that market.
- Newky 14y agoI don't understand why Whatsapp don't have an online offering for the computer. I prefer to "text" off my computer if I am working there all day. With a decent input device, I think people who spend any length of time on a computer during the day. I think whatsapp would really benefit from a web offering. Also as an aside to this, I presume whatsapp does not allow just anyone to connect via XMPP, what would be much better again, would be if my IM account could connect to whatsapp.
