Paid Subscriptions

[StuartR]

I have to say, if it is true that all participants have to get the higher plans to use them, that seems a little overambitious. Why not do it like zoom, where the host needs to have the account, but the participants can then take part for free.

The whole idea of a growing community gets defeated that way. It was difficult enough to get colleagues to invest into the equipment needed and set it all up, now one also has to persuade them to pay monthly fees. That's not going to work, you are cutting off your user base that way.

I am not against paying for the service, but I don't think this has much of a future, if indeed it works like this.

I agree and I'm lobbying them to include a band/group tier that provides a discounted, uniform feature set for all members.

They also need to provide documentation on the use of the new feature-set (mesh network, audio relay servers and network acceleration) that they're rolling out. Some of us have seen some of the new network route settings in the JK client but haven't had any official description of how and when to use any of them.
