RCS (Rich Communication Services) will be able to turn our regular texts into a system that resembles iMessage. It’ll support read receipts and provide the ability to attach high-resolution photos, GIFS, and videos. Additionally, it allows for a longer message and attachment of a larger file. It’s the more modern, up-to-date version of texting that we need among all this technological advancement.

Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint are all backing up RCS and intend to replace SMS with RCS in 2020. These four major cellular carriers have formed the Cross Carrier Messaging Initiative (CCMI), intending to push out RCS and change the standard. Having all four of these carriers on board will ideally allow for a seamless and smooth transition and user experience.

Although Apple has yet to make any statements regarding RCS, Google has been supporting it. They even rolled out RCS in the France and UK themselves through their own services. Therefore, with the support of these four cellular company giants, RCS has a bright future and the change may come even sooner. It’s time to say goodbye to SMS.

Shawn Corey Carter acquired TIDAL, the high-definition music streaming service, back in March 2015 for a respectable $56 million. Since then, he has enlisted the help of notable A-List Musicians such as Daft Punk, Calvin Harris, and Deadmau5 to further develop the platform. It’s now being reported that as of Monday, January 23rd, Sprint Corporation has partnered with TIDAL in a multi-million dollar business venture, and received 33% company ownership in return.

And just how much did Jay Z receive in return for Sprint’s partial acquisition, you might be wondering? Only a cool $200 million…. valuing his company at over 10x more than what he initially acquired it for from Aspiro, nearly 2 years ago. It’s still no Spotify or Apple Music, but nevertheless very nicely done, Mr. Carter.

Financial gain aside, Jay Z had this to say about the new partnership:

“Sprint shares our view of revolutionizing the creative industry to allow artists to connect directly with their fans and reach their fullest, shared potential. Marcelo [Claure, Sprint’s CEO,] understood our goal right away and together we are excited to bring Sprint’s 45 million customers an unmatched entertainment experience.”

All 45 million Sprint retail customers will soon have unlimited access to exclusive artist content not available anywhere else, but TIDAL. Whether or not you’ll have to pay for that service, is not clear yet. And neither is whether or not using the service will count against your data. So maybe don’t get your hopes up for free content just yet, Sprint Customers.

“TIDAL and its artists will make exclusive content that will only be available to current and new Sprint customers.“

Apparently $75 million from Sprint’s $200 million investment will be used by Artists partnered with TIDAL to give them “the flexibility to create and share their work” – sounds game changing to us!
