U.S. Carriers Agree to Enhanced Messaging Standards and Features
According to the CTIA, all of the major U.S. wireless network operators have agreed to the feature set of Enhanced Messaging (EM) services. EM is a presence-enabled mobile messaging service that allows for richer real-time text messaging and communications than that offered by traditional SMS or MMS. The Group Messaging feature lets multiple users interact with text-based messages on their phones, as well as multi-media files within a group communication session. EM is expected to launch in the third quarter of 2009, and will be inter-operable between the U.S. carriers.
