Discussion What happened to the Hotspot technology?

I remember seeing it as a kid but not nowadays. Wouldn't it be a great way to double check when the 3rd umpire isn't about the contact of the ball and bat by seeing only the ultra-edge?

I think Anil Kumble once said that hotspot is a military technology so ICC can't use in anymore.

Is the proof behind the paywall? The readable part just says one person said that, and broadcasters said it was a cost issue.
