Oh, sure, it will be marketed as a premium bleeding edge thing in the begining.
That is how surfacing technologies get funded in their early stages. They leech
money from early adopters in order to fund the development and first
deployments, which are the hardest.

But in 15 years, if the technology is proven stable enough to stay, you can bet
you will see prices drop as there is no need to regain the initial investment
in the network and as it needs to compete to more modern technologies.

This is the reason why I am staying away from marihuana products for my store.
A 15 ml. flask of OCB oil at a pitiful concentration is worth 60 eur to the
public, because it is early technology in Spain. The problem is that 6 months
from now this thing would be worth half of that so if I get a big shipment
(which is the only way of turning a profit nowadays) I will have to eat every
unsold unit after 6 months, or sell them at a loss.
