Meraki did nothing to further development of the MC. They pretty much dumped it in the lap of intelepeer and ignored it. It had potential but it should not have been a "complete" solution but a managed device like a switch or an AP. If it was merely managed through a dashboard with the backend available for configuration with any SIP provider it would have been a really innovative, competitive product but it was essentially ruined by the whole "Meraki will be your SIP provider" thing. Simply put it was ill-conceived and never developed. The hardware was beautiful and it had amazing potential. Imagine something like the Grandstream IPBX software with those phones, managed from the Meraki dashboard. So much potential. I really liked those phones.... when they worked. Then they just dumped it and didn't let the already licensed customers just run out their licenses... What a nightmare for the MSPs... They got slaughtered.
