What about M2M and Data?

Technology Spectator said this earlier this year about The Internet of Things

The development of high-speed broadband infrastructure is now well and truly underway in many countries and one of the real value propositions of this new infrastructure will be the further development of the ‘Internet of Things’(IoT) which is going to be a real game-changer. It will transform every single sector of society and the economy and it will be out of this environment that new businesses – and indeed new industries – will be born. For the telecom this trend will be driven not so much by the carriers as by internet-based services (databases), and it looks as though these developments will come from the bottom up. Exciting new internet applications and mobile apps will see people installing sensors to link to the internet, and data-gathering and real-time analytics will be valuable services that people will want to use. Companies will follow later –either by building their own IoT infrastructure and/or by buying up some of the IoT start-ups.

So when Anil Kripalani asked me to moderate a TiE South Coast panel on wireless, I chose this particular topic. Here’s the video from that panel discussion with the following industry leaders: Mo Nasser from Sprint, Naresh Soni from Interdigital, Fred Yentz from ILS Technologies, and Prof. Subramanya from National University.
