Whatever gave you that idea? Most operators have an interface allowing 
reception of sms:es over internet. The protocols may be strange (they are) 
and the pricing models vary greatly, but there are many receive interface 
to sms:es.

At least, there are in Europe and I cannot imagine the operators turning 
down another revenue generating service in the US.
