Since IM is free, when people use IM, the cellular providers don't make the money they'd make if text messaging were used instead.

Some plans allow use, but are charged at a higher rate. It's becoming more common for carrier-branded phones to have Windows Live Messenger removed.

I can't imagine why it is not available as a full download unless the carriers have agreements with 3rd party IM clients .... and what if they do? Let the user make the decision on what they want.
