Hi,

Just to add one piece of info here: Having the ability to email or whatsapp
more than 200-250 users is going to be critical for disease surveillance
systems too. In case of a major disease outbreak, these systems will have
to broadcast messages via multiple protocols to far more than 200-250
people.

Regards
Calle
