http://flip.it/MVLxe Also including wishful thinking - marketing elements, sounds like business bluffs into a IoT bubble: "Here are a few of the key findings from the BI Intelligence report: - *The Internet of Things will be the largest device market in the world <https://intelligence.businessinsider.com/the-internet-of-things-is-rising-examining-the-internet-of-things-2014-9?utm_source=House&utm_medium=Edit&utm_term=I-HUGEIoT-2014-10-9&utm_content=link&utm_campaign=BIIMobile>.* We estimate that by 2019 it will be more than double the size of the smartphone, PC, tablet, connected car, and the wearable market *combined. * - *The IoT will result in $1.7 trillion in value added to the global economy in 2019 <https://intelligence.businessinsider.com/the-internet-of-things-is-rising-examining-the-internet-of-things-2014-9?utm_source=House&utm_medium=Edit&utm_term=I-HUGEIoT-2014-10-9&utm_content=link&utm_campaign=BIIMobile>. *This includes hardware, software, installation costs, management services, and economic value added from realized IoT efficiencies. - *Device shipments will reach 6.7 billion in 2019 for a five-year CAGR of 61% <https://intelligence.businessinsider.com/the-internet-of-things-is-rising-examining-the-internet-of-things-2014-9?utm_source=House&utm_medium=Edit&utm_term=I-HUGEIoT-2014-10-9&utm_content=link&utm_campaign=BIIMobile>. *Revenue from hardware sales will be only $50 billion or 8% of the total revenue from IoT-specific efforts, as software makers and infrastructure companies will earn the lion's share. - *The enterprise sector will lead the IoT, accounting for 46% of device shipments this year <https://intelligence.businessinsider.com/the-internet-of-things-is-rising-examining-the-internet-of-things-2014-9?utm_source=House&utm_medium=Edit&utm_term=I-HUGEIoT-2014-10-9&utm_content=link&utm_campaign=BIIMobile>, *but that share will decline as the government and home sectors gain momentum. By 2019, government will be the leading sector for IoT device shipments. - *The main benefit of growth in the IoT will be increased efficiency and lower costs <https://intelligence.businessinsider.com/the-internet-of-things-is-rising-examining-the-internet-of-things-2014-9?utm_source=House&utm_medium=Edit&utm_term=I-HUGEIoT-2014-10-9&utm_content=link&utm_campaign=BIIMobile>.*The IoT promises increased efficiency within the home, city, and workplace by giving control to the user. However, many are hesitant to use devices as security problems are still an issue...." _______________________________________________ NetworkedLabour mailing list [email protected] http://lists.contrast.org/mailman/listinfo/networkedlabour -- Check out the Commons Transition Plan here at: http://en.wiki.floksociety.org/w/Research_Plan P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
