Thank you. That actually is very substantive and hyperbole-free.

Significant takeaway: all Twilio SMS traffic is considered A2P. One can 
presume the same applies to other service providers.

That's important. That means either Twilio needs to register the DID 
with whichever carriers, or the end-user must register the DID, but 
either way, it's gotta get done.

That's irritating, but hardly a "walled garden" one step away from 
disconnecting the mobile operator's network from the rest of the world 
in respect of IP, email...
