Okay then I guess the question would be - are we finally getting a universal SMS system? It's not going to be used widely until there's some sort of a standard OR all the systems are able to tie-in with each other (like with atm cards and the different networks that all work together there)

Yes a standard would be a good place to start, but unfortunatly the fundamentals of cell phone technology differs greatly from country to country / continent to continent - I don't see it happening any time soon.
having protocols that allow communications accross different network standards can be done, but it's a headfuck, fyi, 30% of the cost of a call on a cell phone is for the billing system, this increases dramatically when you start mixing networks, and is very inaccurate...
