It's just not supporting SMS messaging. The headline makes it sound like you can't Tweet or receive Tweets if you're in the UK, which isn't completely accurate. I don't think profit or revenue is important for Twitter to be a success. Their approach (seems to be) that they want to make it easy for data to flow through their system, make conversations easier. It's the data that's important. Can *Twitter* monetize that? I don't know. I think someone will see the value in the data itself, and the flow of the data through it, and pay to subsidize it.
