Technical aspects of the "Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol" (XMPP) are over the heads of most people and this leaves things open to speculation. Since XMPP is a decentralized/open standard, can anything really be enforced?
A 'decentralized' standard has nothing to do with whether Google continues to support it.
NOTE: The answer is the same no matter how many times you ask the same question.
Yes, you're right about "enforcement" since they plan to switch to a proprietary method (my temporary ignorance). But nobody can claim to know what's really going on behind the scenes unless they work for Google in that capacity. I am wondering if a Google employee might read this and comment.

Lots of bitter comments on that page RE Obihai! One poster hopes that new firmware could make Obihai devices work with Google's XMPP replacement (seems doubtful). When something is given away for free over months and years, people get an entitlement mentality which is understandable to a point.

No, it's not understandable.
There have been plenty of posts from people whose attitude was "It was free for a while. I saved some money. Now I have to pay a VOIP provider, which is still cheaper than a landline. Time to move on."
Then there are the whiners.

What is the story of Google Voice? My Obi202 still works with GV

I have obi202, which is 10 mos old and recently ( was using via Google voice ) there was a wave of Google voice, stopping its services around May 15, 2014. But My piece is still working via GV and,…. as I received an e-mail from Obitalk,......
they say that Google has somehow made a provision to work it out, some other way, so the service has not interrupted. But the obi202 staff will not assist anymore for the Google voice for any questionnaire support, as they had declared.
So what is the true story ? Are you still using GV,..... or should change to other service?
So far, I have no problem. Pl. comment on this, an dalso ig there is another easy change for free service.
Somehow obihai helpline number is not returning my calls,
and they have stopped assisting via phone, it looks like.
Thank you.
