back to the original thread. Any niche business the Internet has infiltrated - the Internet has conquered. Sort of like the Borg in Star Trek. It's best not to fight the innovation but rather embrace it and re-innovate. Pivot. CCP is just a tool. That's all. Home automation is the future and it seems to be flourishing. For example, look at many futuristic movies. People love the concept. Demolition man, Total Recall. People dream of that stuff.
CCP is a horse buggy whip. Its just a tool. Home enthusiasts who have it will probably be the ones who further the "business" anyway. People will want complete home integration and if a company keeps its ears close to the ground and provides innovative service at reasonable prices - then forget CCP. Its just a tool. Give it out. It does not matter. Press on with the innovation/value concept and jobs will come to you.
