When they saw it was sponsored by RSA

I honestly had zero idea that they made a product like this.

Was interested in Hangouts, which worked well for a while. Was never interested in Allo or Duo. I'll stick with my Signal which already does the RCS stuff the article is talking about.

Me either, but from the sound of it in that article, it shouldn't be surprising as to why it failed.

Yeah and their Slack competition Hangout Chat (Not to be confused with Google Hangouts) is not that great so far with no audible notifications or the like on desktop and limited preference settings for a user.

Just the testing. Seems like most of this technology should be open source from the get-go. I understand the need to make money but nothing precludes making money in this instance. Especially when the hardware is massively expensive and really only available to people who have an existing supply chain in place.
