Right now there is not many regulations however I believe this will change in the next 24 months. To answer your second question, right now carriers charge about $.15 per text message, however most people pay for a bulk plan that gives them a lot of messages per month. I believe as SMS communication continues to rise and everyone is forced to start using it (because their friends will not give them a choice) you will see the bulk plans become more popular and another $10 or $20 a month on your bill will not be a huge difference. I do believe right now though that the $.15 per message fee is way too much money and the carriers should try and lower that if they want to see adaption in the short term. EVERYONE oversees (Europe, Asia etc..) sends text messages because they cost a lot less than a phone call, which is the exact opposite in the U.S. As a nation, I agree we have some catching up to do.
