A glaring problem with RCS is that Google sells a way to run ads on it:

> RBM is a messaging platform that brands use to send One-Time Passwords (OTPs) and engage customers in dialog about transactions, customer service, promotions, and more. RBM is provided through a Google API and delivered to end users through Google servers. [1]

Google should work with carriers to increase MMS size limits for the sake of their users rather than end-run around SMS/MMS marketing laws.
