RCS is a standard protocol and not "Google's wet dream".

 
Whose servers do RCS messages pass thru?

The servers of the providers. It is *not* a service provided by Google.
Google only added encryption for Android devices, so if the messaging
app on a device *knows* another recipient and the recipient also has
Android, messages can get encrypted, before they get sent.

Quote:

What infrastructure will operators need to deploy to take advantage of RCS?

RCS services are based on the IP-Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), as
specified by the 3GPP and adopted by major industry standardisation
bodies for mobile and fixed networks. Operators may implement their own
IMS solution or can access the services of a hosted solution to provide
a pre-IMS or partial-IMS implementation. The hosted solution may be a
temporary or permanent solution for the operator.
