This device costs about 249 $, the cheapest plug device i found was
the sheeva plug 99 $ and a mesh potato for 119$

Actually, no, the DreamPlugs are $149 (I bought one 5 days ago, I'm
sure). How did you get to the $249 total? Granted, the lower price
isn't a lot better, but still only 6x the price instead of 10x the
goal.
Also, you have to factor in both production scale and related
products.
The more units Globalscale produces at once, the cheaper it becomes.
The more producers competing to produce units, the cheaper it becomes.
Either of those will happen only with relatively large-scale
purchasing.
i ve just klicked here (add to chart and is says 249 $
https://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/c-8-d2plug.aspx
Its beeing far from eben moglens vision to have such a device for
25 $.
See above. It's not there yet, but as it becomes more popular,
it'll go
down in price.
No we need to get in contacts with an asian manufacturer and put
the thingy together like the software :)
So , Does anyone have contacts to chinese /asian manufacturers ?
cheers
