An opinion piece on open drone ecosystems, connectivity and how monopolies endanger the potential that drone applications present.
"Beware of those bearing gifts" - Virgil 29BC
This blogpost is an opinion piece and look behind the curtain on why we believe in open drone ecosystems, on why the name of our drone management platform has a large portion of the word 'connect' in it, and why we fight against barriers to market access. We believe that useful applications should be enabled rather than having drones controlled by some dominant players or/and even prevented.
We also argue that drones - as the disruptive technology they are - deserve the best possible support and environment to thrive in. That support will be achieved when flights are managed through an open, connected system. Not by a closed one. We understand what the reasons of enforcing a closed system are. Those reasons however do not serve the cause of any drone pilot, authority or industry. They are only serving the benefit of one or two players, and their investors.
Let us guide you through our story.
