I think it comes down to not stepping on territory. Crestron dealers have worked very hard to get to the point of selling Crestron. With any business you want to wipe the competition off the market and stay true to your customers at the same time.

If a customer is not willing to put the money into a full Crestron system then those dealers shouldn't want that kind of "cheep customer" We all know where that leads. However with the Prodigy system it opens up a new market for Crestron, Without stepping on dealers territory. I would hope Crestron would allow the companys that already sell crestron acces to the line as it may be a market for them if they wanted it. As for us smaller companies I believe it may be a good thing. Allows us to test the waters with what control company we want to go with, and what we feel is best for our company and our customers.
