From "happy hacking" to "screw you" - the story of Meraki
- cvonwallenstein 19y agoSadly, this can very easily happen to companies that sell hardware. There are so many factors at play, including changing manufacturing costs, changing component costs, regulatory compliance for FCC and safety compliance where applicable... it can be very easy to get low-volume stuff "out there" at the start to get initial sales and users, but you soon realize that there are major changes required to actually build it into a business. That doesn't explain the licensing change exactly, but I can at least appreciate the price change.
