    Better to mandate open hardware and software standards, so if the company goes under others can make parts or even upgrade the devices.

      If nothing else, mandate the opening of the standards must coincide with the end of support. I realize it would mean a service blackout while another company tries to pick them up, but it would be a lot better than nothing and it doesn’t hit the bottom line if a company operating now quite so much which would make it more palatable.
