To be fair, SIP and fax via VoIP is not based on proprietary standards, 
they are all open. I think that there might have been patents at some 
point, but SIP and internet faxing were opened a reasonably long time ago.

I belong to two radio clubs here in the UK, and both of them have 
official Discord sites. The one club (M0OUK) makes heavy use of the 
mentioned audio/video/file sharing capabilities to get people trained up 
for their various licenses. I'm sorry if you don't agree with this, but 
it does work for them and they are using these platforms to expand the 
hobby. The more people we have to occupy RF space, the smaller the 
chances of losing these frequencies.
