Antitrust is good but it's treating the symptom, not the disease.
The disease is the fact it's illegal to crack open their locks. We need their permission to interoperate. If we don't have it, we're criminals if we try.
All we need to do is legalize reverse engineering and circumvention for the purposes of interoperability. In less than a year the iMessage nonsense will be solved because all competing platforms will add support for its protocols whether they want it or not. They'll try to make it hard to do it but it won't matter.
Adversarial interoperability should be the norm. They shouldn't have a choice in whether they are interoperated with. It should just happen organically.
