MMS plumbing at the BBC

When Matt Biddulph (R&Mi T&D Architecture Team Gruppenfuhrer) wrote about Moyles-proof code he was talking about processing incoming SMS. The core plumbing of that system was a way of turning an external (to the BBC) store of messages provided by a third-party into an internal feed of messages that applications could be built on top of. That's how you're able to build the cool stuff: by having solid, scalable, adaptable plumbing.
