- 3. What is the IoT ? "Things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. Cisco estimates the IoT will consist of 50 billion devices connected to the Internet by 2020. GE estimates that IoT technology for industry has the potential to add $10- $15 trillion As Deloitte showed in a study, nearly 75% of executives affirms that their companies were exploring or adopting some form of IoT solutions.

Security Protecting users' privacy and manufacturers' IP Detecting and blocking malicious activity Complexity Ever evolving ecosystem with multiple platforms numerous protocols large numbers of APIs
- 8. Understanding the problem - Solution Scalability Extend Telecom-grade reliability and scale to infrastructure Invest in emerging IoT technologies Evolve SDN & NFV for use-cases Security Providers can validate the controller or gateway Provider verify sensor information sources and locations. (3G/4G/5G) Complexity The Service providers can harmonize the information format Newer evolving technologies would be standardized to interoperate with legacy system.

Icing on the cake Telecom industry already have : Professional Services Billing Hosting Network of Stores Millions of existing customers As 30% more gadgets are added to the Internet of Things (IoT) every year the global spending on support services is forecasted to soar, jumping 22% to $235bn by 2016.

- 19. Business Model Change in Business model is required: IoT allows vendors to divorce the business model of the device from that of the data that are generated by that device. For example: Shift from an environment in which they charge based on volume of traffic(monthly access fees + data plans) and connections to one in which they charge based on level of performance.

Editor's Notes
- #6: Devices are low cost, so can not have security rules
- #9: Security Service providers can ensure that devices and IoT sensors are securely connected to network controllers, data sent and received via gateway will go through rigorous encryption and the controller will enforce processes to block Denial of Service (DOS) attacks. Policy control will be strictly enforced along with deep packet inspection to enable the right service with right security. Connected devices will use 3G, 4G or 5G wireless technology. However 5G will make IoT dream come true. Security has to be hierarchical , some at device level, some at gateway level
- #11: In a survey conducted by IDC (2013 cited in PwC Communication Review December 2014,p.1 ), the respondents indicated that while on their mobiles they spend a mere 16% of their time on phone calls and the other 84% on activities like browsing the web, communicating by email, using social apps, watching videos or TV, gaming, etc.
- #15: Network function virtualization can be used in vertical industry applications. NFV infrastructure can be scaled up and down to provide virtual network function resources for vertical markets.
