This initiative highlights the importance of a balanced policy environment that fosters collaboration among device makers, software providers, and operators. By creating a virtuous cycle, we can enrich user experiences in voice, data, video calling, and chat. Unified messaging and seamless device integration lead to more choices for consumers and increased data plan uptake.
