Panel discussion - Business Models in an Internet of Things
summary
Panelists argue the business value sits in shared data not hardware, with incumbents hoarding telemetry while startups build APIs to monetize it; examples include Volvo and Samsung keeping internal endpoints closed, a Kickstarter hub that plugs up to 50 sensors (Project Woven), firms still dumping CSVs into network drives, and third parties reverse‑using an undocumented Tesla API. Core needs named are API management, identity/federation, gateways for low‑power devices, and clearer ownership and privacy models before broad consumer adoption.
