Who's Footing The Bill?

Knightrider:
I want to know who's paying for the server? I don't think its x10. That being said, what happens to the WM100 when someone stops paying for the service?

I readily doubt it's a one time fee, but could be wrong.

I'm just now getting into learning how this all works.

Knightrider:
Better yet, someone like me that has maxed out his WM100 uses quite a bit more data requests than the casual user.

I priced Alibaba cloud services at around 14 USD per month per million messages.  I'm guessing I use around 30 per day.

30×365=10,950.

Let's say 1,000 of these units have been sold. That's almost 11 million messages.

I can't see that as a sustainable business model.

Knightrider:
These things could become bricks much faster than expected.

Knightrider:
Ok, so my math is off by calculating yearly traffic and comparing it to monthly billing, but my point remains the same.

There is no free lunch and someone has to pay the band.

Tuicemen:
All the more reason for local control.
Even better would be the ability to flash the firmware with  ones own.
