I feel that the carriers took advantage of the situation and forced this solution since it makes good money sense to them, and closes competition out in a very indirect way. Why not just register our long codes for a small fee if we want to use them for commerce, then have them regulated for an example of a much simpler solution. I have a small business that has a wonderful app over SMS, but we simply cannot implement it because of the short code costs. We should fight to get rid of the short code requirements in the US, or at least regulate the pricing, but in the meantime I am hoping that the solution Mobilestorm offers can help us. -Matt I understand that the requirement of short codes in the US is due to the spamming of phones.
