By now, almost everyone knows Rich Communication Services (RCS) campaigns are coming soon, and the buzz is that it will be Faaabulous, with all sorts of new features and functions, and…whoa—slow down! Yes, RCS is all that (you can literally power an app experience in messaging) and *might* even be the biggest update to communications since VoIP, but there are still some management issues and other kinks to work out.

- Usage scenarios: which version to use when and where (location, location, location)
- TCPA and the approval processes
