Any product integrator will have to think “long-and-hard” about building a large Fleet around a ThingStream Service.
It appears to be a Marketing Decision (just my personal opinion) based on the new service plans and tactics. Note: that’s pointed at U-Blox/ThingStream, not SparkFun 
U-Blox divested it’s Cellular business, has a new CFO, and a strange partnership with TopCon.
The proposed PointPerfect Global L-Band has a 2-minute convergence time for 10 cm accuracy…that’s not a viable replacement at all for many industries that have adopted L-Band Corrections.
A ~6 month notice for ending our existing L-Band Service is a slap in the face to ThingStream’s existing customers in the US, and should be a warning for any potential customers and integrators. Quick decisions by bean-counters can cause serious uncertainty for customers with long-term plans.
I’ve felt like a complete idiot for the past 2 months.

Sorry, that’s been building for a while now 
@sparky, we appreciate the transparency from SFE.
