Not to mention it will only become more entrenched since carriers at least here in Mexico don't count Whatsapp/Facebook towards your data usage, which is pretty awful if you were ever hoping for a competitor to emerge.

Same for some SEA countries (Malaysia & Singapore), whatsapp (some includes other popular messaging apps such as WeChat, FB messenger) messages/calls does not count toward your data usage for most telcos and it is the main way people communicate, Whatsapp basically replaced SMS there when it was launched.
