Of course, SIP and also Jabber/XMPP are protocols that can be
federated, by default and by design, and need not an exclusive
authority to operate.

Stop using ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo and Skype.

We have SIP and Jabber/XMPP in the spirit of what the WWW was
originally designed for.

Also, in this sense, you choose the software you like, not someone else.
Proprietary protocols make the WWW weaker and PC is lesser fun.
