Dear all,
As regards the IoT as a revolutionary technology, some concerns worth being addressed are:
- What are the energy efficient technologies that can be put in place to ensure that the sensors
and IoT platform in general does not utilise a lot of power.
- As IoT is implemented on the cloud, can we come up with a standard for CloudIoT especially given 
that we have many standards for the IoT cloud.
-How are security and privacy issues being addressed as we adopt big data and IoT.
Thats my 2 cents for now.
Best regards
Ronald Ojino

Day 8 of 10:

* Internet of Things, M2M
* Net Neutrality & OTT
* Big Data
* Virtual Money/BlockChains

The Background:

Internet of Things is a vision (now a reality) of physical objects
(machines, vehicles, buildings, etc) fitted with sensors that allow
them to  communicate with each other.  The smart-city concept
envisions sensors continuously reporting status (e.g Traffic status,
Pollution Status, Maintenance Status) of the different objects to
allow for efficient management response. A lot of data exchanges
arises hence the term Big Data with its associated data analytics
requirements.

Meanwhile, Virtual Money/Currency (Bitcoin, etc) threatens to disrupt
the need for a centralised banking institutions. Over The Top (Skype,
Twitter, FB, Youtube) have been around longer but the need to regulate
or NOT to regulate them continues to be debated.

Given recent developments on the KiCTANET list on Virtual money  what
should  our position on these and other emerging issues be from a
policy perspective ? is there need to embrace the issues?

Your comments are welcome
