Signal needs to be funded, just because. It shouldn't be a business per se. It is very very very lean, except for the SMS fees.

I think it's a good bit more than SMS fees. They could look to non profits, but ultimately they will need a sustainability model.

Agree. I think it will be much easier to reach sustainability if they can become a bit more mass-based. (I envision a NPR model for them).
