This is one thing about the 'net that really sucks - how companies compete with each other with different services making it a mess for the consumer. And yes, of course there could still be competition under "openness" - just have different chat apps all using the one protocol, but the apps themselves could be different, ie. one from MS, Yahoo, Google, Pidgin, etc. Problem solved! But yeah...fantasy :( Wouldn’t it be great if there was just one chat protocol for all the ‘net and you could have all your friends on one place.
