The outcome of the event was that “The Internet of Things” is still coming ……!
And confusion/privacy/ security appear to be factors that hold back both adoption and growth.
Probably technology is not the issue, inter-operability and standards could
be preventing faster adoption, but this seems unlikely.
Business models are built and will be justified on future cost savings, but
during recession when cash is short the future remains the future.
Also component and usage costs are still too high, but that is more of a volume issue.
So why is it not working – maybe, like the UK government, there is no natural leader?
