Actually, I think the opposite will happen. Manufacturers generally design for a five year life-cycle use. Obsolescence generally is built into the rig by simply using proprietary or custom designed parts. I suspect the K3, Flex, and Orion bandwidth algorithm probably can be changed with a simple software download. The PRO III is bandwidth algorithm is done in firmware and not easily changed by the customer. Regulation by bandwidth probably would be a boom for new manufacturer production. I would suspect manufacturers would fully support it down the road.
