IoT Hetero - split

A
Alan Messer Ph.D.

The document discusses the challenges facing the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. It notes that while IoT has been around for years and includes billions of devices, most current "solutions" require proprietary apps or ecosystems. This fragmentation poses problems for interoperability, scalability, and providing users with a seamless experience. The document argues that an open approach is needed to address these issues, through open standards, cross-manufacturer collaboration, and open source initiatives. It maintains that openness is key to overcoming technical challenges around interoperability, ease of setup, and supporting the large volumes and broad categories of devices that will be needed for IoT to see widespread adoption.
