IOT - Introduction

Today I was reading the agenda for Mobilize , where I read the following statement: The Internet of Things… The M2M or “Internet of Things” proposition opens up a vast new array of opportunity for carriers, entrepreneurs and consumer experiences. We look at some of the biggest markets out there – medicine, consumer goods, automotive and more. We ask what needs to be done to catalyze the opportunity and what returns these markets will yield. But equating M2M to Internet of Things (IoT) is not proper.
M2M vs. Internet of Things
Why adding M2M to smartphones will make them even 'smarter'
The love affair between people and their mobile phones will grow even stronger once those devices go beyond communications and entertainment and into actual control of entire home and office environments. Operators can be bystanders on the sidelines in this machine-to-machine game or become enablers that orchestrate the relationships and technologies that will drive the next generation of convenience to their customers. Some service providers in North America aren’t waiting and are already getting involved in the intersection of M2M and smart devices. AT&T, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless are reportedly planning to run near-field communication payments trials in Atlanta and three other U.S. cities .Wireless Device Networking

As a 15 year M2M veteran, it’s exciting to see the rapid evolution of the market over the last few years. The advent of cloud computing and steady decline in the cost of wireless communication has made it so everyday products can now be connected. As I have said in the press , disconnected products are dead, they are lame. The most innovative product companies have seen the light and are betting their futures on the services that can be delivered through their products.
Top 10 Internet of Things Developments of 2010
Internet of Things (IoT) is a term for when everyday ordinary objects are connected to the Internet via microchips. The technologies include sensors, RFID and smartphone standards like NFC. The use cases are still evolving, but over 2010 we saw large organizations like HP and IBM build out impressive platforms for the Internet of Things. We also saw companies as diverse as Nike and Pachube enjoying success with consumer applications based on these technologies. Here are our picks for the top 10 Internet of Things developments of 2010. On Page 1 of this post we detail 5 large scale developments (3 specific trends and 2 IoT platforms).
From Internet of Things to Web of Things
Since my last blog posted this past December specifically on the ITU-T Focus Group Cloud Computing activities; the ITU-T Focus Group has had its Fourth Meeting held in Nanjing, PRC Jan 10-13 2011. Moving to another subject, the Internet of Things (IoT) , has been emerging quite prominently as a pivotal topic in the industry and within several SDOs and Forums. Recall, that the ITU produced a report on the Internet of Things in 2005 and highlighted so called “always on “technologies”: Interestingly the subject of IoT is currently focused on an evolution to Web of Things or WoT. Fundamentally, the Web of Things explores how objects and or devices that contain embedded devices are integrated into the Web.
Humains, Objets et Internet ds objets
"Que pensez-vous des utilisateurs de FourSquare , utilisant le "Check-in" annonçant qu'ils se trouvent à un tel endroit à un moment précis. Peuvent-ils être considérés comme objets ?" Je me suis permis la réponse suivante tant il est vrai que je n'avais jamais formalisé la vision que nous développons au sein de notre société , Business2Any : "Très bonne question qui en amène une autre : « Internet of Things » est-il bien traduit quand il est dénommé « Internet des Objets » en Français ?

RESTful principles that have already contributed to the popular success, scalability, and modularity of the traditional Web. We then discuss several prototypes designed in accordance with these principles to connect environmental sensor nodes and an energy monitoring system to the World Wide Web. We finally show how Web-enabled smart things can be used in lightweight ad-hoc applications called “physical mashups”.
What happens when objects start to post their position and status on the internet? Amazing things. Massive data collection could change the world. Companies all over the globe are working on ways to use tracking and internet connectivity to give new digital life to physical objects and locations. French company Violet ‘s special stamps trigger email alerts and messages when you move items around your house. Drop your keys on a sensor, and your spouse can know you got home safely. ioBridge gives you the hardware and software to hack together devices that let your Twitter Feed control your TV, or allow your garage door to have a Facebook Status.

All things considered, this Julian Bleecker’s Why Things Matter is probably the closest we have to a Manifesto for the internet of things. Bruce Sterling’s Shaping Things is also in that category, but it’s a longer text and it lacks the theoretical punch. Besides, any theoretical piece on networked objects has to first deal with the modern separation of the world into the nature/culture dichotomy, and Bleecker does just that with his use of Bruno Latour’s We Have Never Been Modern .

Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino – The next 5 years of the internet of Things « Mobile Monday Amsterdam
Alexandra is one of the founders of Tinker.it , the company that is behind the Arduino movement. Based on her rich experience she looks back on what has happened the last 5 years and what we can expect the next 5 concerning the Internet of Things.A life completely in sync with the internet is more than just a fantasy | NJ.com
In the future, when you say "I’m online," you’ll really mean it: Your clothes, your car and your toothbrush will all be connected to the internet. This vision, if it seems eerie and far-fetched, isn’t quite as ridiculous as it sounds (except for the toothbrush part, but more about that in a moment). Digital sensors have gotten smaller and cheaper, to the point where companies may soon decide they’ve got reasons to embed them in everyday products. In tandem with the internet and other communications networks, these objects will then be linked in order to transmit data to each other and to us.Tech Is Too Cheap to Meter: It's Time to Manage for Abundance, Not Scarcity
In 1969, the Neiman Marcus catalog offered the first home PC , a stylish stand-up model called the Honeywell Kitchen Computer , priced at $10,600 . The picture shows an aproned housewife caressing the machine, with this tag line: "If she can only cook as well as Honeywell can compute." That image should be on every cubicle in Silicon Valley; it's a testament both to what technologists get right and what they get badly wrong. To their credit, they understood that Moore's law would bring computing within the reach of regular people.One of the amazing things about the internet economy is how different the list of top internet properties today looks from the list ten years ago . It wasn’t as if those former top companies were complacent – most of them acquired and built products like crazy to avoid being displaced. The reason big new things sneak by incumbents is that the next big thing always starts out being dismissed as a “toy.” This is one of the main insights of Clay Christensen’s “disruptive technology” theory.
