The product Beeper is selling is essentially access to "blue bubbles" and iMessage without having to pay the price of admission (i.e., owning an iDevice and working with Apple). That's the part that's shady and sus. What they are paying or saving on infrastructure cost is irrelevant - they are basically still running a counterfeit operation, doesn't matter what their costs are.
