7. Every day we hear about some technological development in the industry. What is your strategy to stay at pace with this fast-changing technological world?
We are going to implement RCS (Rich Communication Services)
The development of RCS as a possible successor to SMS messaging began as early as 2007, with the GSMA giving its official backing a year later. At its core, it offers a range of advanced messaging features including group messaging, voice and video calls, file transfers and a host of other features.
Despite the backing of the GSMA and Google, it’s unlikely that RCS will become the international mobile messaging standard any time soon.
