Growing the Internet of Things

"Discover the future of IoT, where devices must be open, accessible, and programmable, and how open protocols, public networks, and open source can shape the next generation of connected devices and solve real-world problems."

Key takeaways

The Internet of Things is driven by the equation of price falling every 18 months, which leads to connection and improvement.
Devices must be open, accessible, and programmable by users.
The infrastructure must be open, and proprietary networks cannot compete with open public networks.
The cost of devices decreased exponentially, and this curve is not limited to technology.
Monopoles and rent-seeking are the greatest threats to the Internet of Things.
The focus should be on solving real problems, not creating artificial ones.
The best model is open source, and it’s the best way to create value.
The Internet of Things is a public network, whether you like it or not.
