Long Heralded Internet of Things Comes of Age
Excerpted from Financial Times Report by Jeevan Vasagari
Encouraging customers to buy less from you sounds like an odd way to run a business. But, as the traditional model of suppliers undergoes changes, that is one way that utilities hope to boost their earnings.
Power generators can save the expense of using their peak-load power plants by persuading householders to reduce their consumption when demand is high.
The tricky part is that — in contrast to supplying to businesses, where consumption is monitored closely — tracking the costs of usage in households has traditionally had a time lag.
There is a risk of the supplier being out of pocket if incentives to cut demand are too generous and too widely taken up by consumers. Household bills are generally settled in arrears, but with a business, special offers can be adjusted in real time.
"A large factory is usually read on a half hourly meter," says Neil Pennington, Director of Smart Innovation at RWE Npower, the UK company.
"The risk of sending a price signal to an industrial client is a lot lower than shifting a lot of domestic load that only gets settled a year later."
However, the rise of smart meters and smart thermostats is ushering in an era when household use can be measured and controlled with greater accuracy.
For many, Google's $3.2 billion purchase of Nest Labs — a maker of smart thermostats and smoke alarms — was the moment when the long-heralded Internet of Things (IoT) came of age for household electrical devices.
Hardware can be used by companies to map overall use, instead of installing smart plugs on every appliance. Read more...
The Internet of Things Is Far Bigger than Anyone Realizes
Excerpted from Wired Report by Daniel Burrus
When people talk about "the next big thing," they're never thinking big enough. It's not a lack of imagination; it's a lack of observation. I've maintained that the future is always within sight, and you don't need to imagine what's already there.
Case in point: The buzz surrounding the Internet of Things (IoT).
What's the buzz? The IoT revolves around increased machine-to-machine (M2M) communication; it's built on cloud computing and networks of data-gathering sensors; it's mobile, virtual, and instantaneous connection; and they say it's going to make everything in our lives from streetlights to seaports "smart."
But here's what I mean when I say people don't think big enough. So much of the chatter has been focused on M2M: devices talking to like devices. But a machine is an instrument, it's a tool, it's something that's physically doing something. When we talk about making machines "smart," we're not referring strictly to M2M. We're talking about sensors.
A sensor is not a machine. It doesn't do anything in the same sense that a machine does. It measures, it evaluates; in short, it gathers data. The IoT really comes together with the connection of sensors and machines.
That is to say, the real value that the IoT creates is at the intersection of gathering data and leveraging it. All the information gathered by all the sensors in the world isn't worth very much if there isn't an infrastructure in place to analyze it in real time.
Cloud-based applications are the key to using leveraged data. The IoT doesn't function without cloud-based applications to interpret and transmit the data coming from all these sensors. The cloud is what enables the apps to go to work for you anytime, anywhere. Read more...
Report from CEO Marty Lafferty
 As the US concludes our celebration of Thanksgiving 2014, on behalf of the Distributed Computing Industry Association (DCIA) thank you for the privilege of serving such a dynamic and innovative group of organizations and people.
The distributed computing industry's contributions to humanity are many and consistently expanding.
With Cloud Computing, Big Data, Mobility, DevOps, Social Networking, and now the Internet of Things (IoT), we are experiencing a period of unprecedented growth and enormous opportunity.
Our greatest concern this holiday season continues to be the pending Net Neutrality rules now being drafted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) — and the response they are likely to generate among key industry players.
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said on Friday that he fears major cable companies will litigate over the new regulations no matter what they contain: "The big dogs are going to sue regardless of what comes out."
The lack of certainty that would be a byproduct of such lawsuits would be harmful to ongoing investment and continuing innovation, which have been very beneficial to Internet-based businesses to date.
The Commission is trying to pre-empt that outcome by staying focused on developing "sustainable rules, and that starts with making sure that we have addressed the multiplicity of issues that come along and are likely to be raised."
The FCC was originally planning to vote on its new regulations in December, but last week postponed its timetable in order to address lingering questions about the legal structure of the rules in the wake of remarks made by President Obama.
Regarding the delay in completing this work to sometime in 2105, Chairman Wheeler reconfirmed that he wants "to move on open Internet rules with dispatch," while re-emphasizing, "I also want to have open Internet rules that are sustained."
"What we've been trying to do from the outset is to make sure that there's an open Internet with no blocking, with no throttling of apps, with no fast lanes that impinge on consumer rights and innovation and competition, with no discrimination, and that we get these in place," Wheeler said.
Uncertainty over how the FCC will regulate the Internet is already impacting the telecommunications industry negatively — even before the new rules are announced.
President Obama's call last month for the Commission to treat Internet service as a public utility sent broadband network operator stock prices tumbling and caused AT&T to pause its infrastructure build-out in 100 cities.
"Now all of a sudden, responsible executives have to say to themselves, 'Whoa, we have to wait and see what the environment looks like going forward before we invest another dollar,'" industry analyst Jeff Kagan commented after the President's intervention.
The lack of marketplace certainty and worrisome speculation about the possibility of a heavy-handed approach by the FCC will unquestionably increase while the Commission considers its new rules.
Ensuring that the new rules will pass legal muster — and hopefully even pre-empt major litigious opposition — rightly is Chairman Wheeler's current priority for the FCC.
As a Commission official said this week, "It's more important to get something done right than get something done quickly." Share wisely, and take care.

Mark Cuban's Take on Net Neutrality
Excerpted from Washington Post Report by Nancy Scola
Mark Cuban has become one of the loudest voices against new so-called net neutrality regulations that's not coming from a telecom company's executive suite.
On his lively Twitter feed and in provocative blog comments, the entrepreneur has questioned the wisdom of the government treating broadband Internet as a kind of public infrastructure, as was recently called for by President Obama.
That approach would require that Internet service providers (ISPs) ensure they treat all content that flows through their networks more or less the same. Cuban's biggest worry: that those rules, even if well-intentioned, could end up killing innovation.
If you only know the colorful Cuban from ABC's "Shark Tank," where hopeful entrepreneurs pitch him and other venture capitalists on their best business ideas, or his role as the NBA-agitating owner of the Dallas Mavericks, you might not know of his hard-earned technology chops.
Cuban got his real professional start as a computer consultant, selling that company in 1992 to CompuServ for millions. He later helped grow a service for live online streaming of radio stations and sports events; he and a partner sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo in 1999 for $5.6 billion.
The idea that the federal government should apply firm and fast "neutrality" rules to the Internet is, arguably, quickly becoming conventional wisdom. And there's nothing that Cuban dislikes more than untested conventional wisdom.
We owe it to the Internet, he argues, to ask the hard questions now.
In a Q&A, I asked Cuban how, exactly, the public should think about the preserving the Internet's future. Read more...
The Internet of Things Is Far Bigger than Anyone Realizes (Part 2)
Excerpted from Wired Report by Daniel Burrus
In my last post, I talked about how people are thinking too small when they think about the Internet of Things (IoT). When we truly consider the ramifications of connecting a vast array of data-gathering sensors, devices, and machines together, what's important to realize is that information will be translated into action at a rate that we have never seen before.
We are closing in on a world with infinitesimal reaction times, immediate responses to changing conditions, and unparalleled control in managing assets and resources.
The key is not to think small. Like I said, the IoT is not merely about creating savings within current industry models. It's about upending old models entirely, creating new services and new products. There is no one sector where the IoT is making the biggest impact; it will disrupt every industry imaginable, including agriculture, energy, security, disaster management, and healthcare, just to name a few.
For example, construction companies have begun equipping silos and trucks with sensors that can monitor inventory levels, such as the amount of concrete, and transmit it via a cloud-based platform to speed up deliveries and ensure a steady pipeline. And giants in the oil industry have started to implement mobile, sensor-to-machine technologies that combat accidents well in advance through quick analysis and immediate action. When sensors detect an issue such as a corroded pipeline or leak, M2M tech allows workers to immediately address it.
Another example of new IoT technology at work in the oil industry is a smart well. This is a well with flow control devices and downhole sensors installed, so it can be monitored and controlled from the surface, without risking the safety of workers.
The smart well utilizes 4D seismic technology, which monitors gas breakout, water flow, pressure changes, and any other alterations caused by fluctuating seismic movement, making it easier to predict and control seismic impacts that can cause significant damage. Read more...
IoT Market Is Growing with Industry Deals Accelerating
Excerpted from TweakTown Report by Michael Hatamoto
The Internet of Things (IoT) market is growing rapidly, and is attracting more attention from US technology and telecoms buyers, according to the Hampleton Partners' report.
More than $9.4 billion has been spent since 2011 to help acquire IoT suppliers, with a whopping $5 billion of that spent during 2014 so far.
Expect to see Intel, Texas Instruments, Juniper Networks, Johnson Controls, and AT&T become more active in acquiring - and creating partnerships - that will help bolster their IoT product lines.
There will be an estimated 25-50 billion Internet-connected devices by 2020, and a global market valued at more than $7.1 trillion - and that figure will only grow as reliable Internet continues to be expanded worldwide.
Meanwhile, IoT will be one of the fastest growing market segments, and spending to support the blossoming market is expected to be $59 billion by 2020.
Such wide market growth presents excellent opportunities for manufacturers, especially by releasing consumer technology solutions.

Appetite for Internet of Things Suppliers Grows
Excerpted from ITWeb Report
Investment in the fast-growing market for Internet-connected devices gathered pace this year and is set to attract more top US technology and telecom buyers of firms active in the market, a report from a merger advisory firm said yesterday.
Corporate finance adviser Hampleton Partners' report said that $9.4 billion has been spent in the past three years to acquire so-called "Internet of Things (IoT)" suppliers, with $5 billion, or more than half of the total, in the first nine months of 2014.
The report, which studied more than 100 transactions in the category, said that early consolidation has been led by Google but also included Cisco Systems, Samsung, Vodafone, and Verizon.
Hampleton predicted that likely new acquirers in the coming year could include AT&T, Intel, Johnson Controls, Juniper Networks, Texas Instruments, which it said are under pressure to compete in the market. Other buyers to watch include Sierra Wireless and Telit Wireless.
Further fueling investment are venture capitalists that have pumped more than $1 billion into start-ups in the sector over the past year.
While average deal size has remained small at about $112 million, acquirers have paid rich Silicon Valley-level price premiums of 11.2 times revenue for publicly disclosed deals.
In May technology market research firm IDC estimated that 28 billion Internet-connected devices would be online by 2020 (with others estimating as many as 50 billion), resulting in a global market worth more $7.1 trillion, against an estimated $1.9 trillion in 2013. Read more...
Cooperation Critical to the Internet of Things
Excerpted from LinuxInsider Report by Jack Germain
Consumers today are in an awkward position. Personal privacy is being wiped out by the Internet. At the same time, new technologies that interconnect our devices with our homes and office environments are offering stupendous advantages.
Welcome to the Internet of Things' (IoT) new world of openness. "Openness" means something different depending on whether you're basking in the convenience of all things connected or contributing to the monetized cash flow that connected-product purveyors get from your personal information.
In this world, openness is pitted against privacy. That is the price consumers pay for the convenience of life with the IoT.
Let's set aside the reality that consumer privacy must give way to controlled openness for IoT technology to work. From a technology standpoint, let's shift the focus from consumer privacy to the need to share protocols among product makers in the interest of IoT interconnectivity.
That is the agreement not quite worked out yet among manufacturers. Perhaps there is a double standard involved. Product makers have little worry about monetizing the personal details of users of their connected products. However, those same manufacturers are not yet fully committed to the level of openness the IoT needs in order to allow products to get along.
"I am seeing a lot of need in the industry for agreeing to a system of openness, but I do not see much cooperation setting in," said Riccardo Mazzurco, head of strategy and business development for Link Your Things. "Much of this proprietary infighting is the result of industrial politics." Read more...
IoT Application Platforms Make Steady Gains in 2014
Excerpted from ABI Research Report
New market forecasts from ABI Research show that the revenues from the Internet of Things (IoT) application enablement platforms (AEPs) grew by 28% in 2014. By end-2020, the revenue base will exceed $1.4 billion, led by applications for remote monitoring and control.
Principal Analyst Aapo Markkanen comments, "Amid all the market noise surrounding IoT platforms, it is wise to remember that the AEP layer of this business isn't anywhere close to the billion-dollar level yet. A growing number of companies are developing and deploying IoT applications, but much of the technology stack comes from internal teams and system integrators."
"Third-party platforms have a high upside, but today the reality is that the vast majority of enterprises have yet to either fully commit to an IoT strategy or determine the best way to execute one."
In the AEP market, 2014 was marked by the emergence of PTC as a somewhat unexpected IoT champion, following its acquisitions of Thingworx and Axeda. Another interesting development was LogMeIn repositioning its Xively platform from a pronouncedly horizontal "AWS for IoT" to a more traditionally inclined solutions provider.
Meanwhile, one of the original AEP pioneers, ILS Technology, was integrated into its new owner, Telit. Currently, the most pressing strategic topic is GE's announcement to open up its Predix platform to the products of other manufacturers.
Practice Director Dan Shey concludes, "It's still unclear how well GE can enable OEM-agnostic applications, but if it sees reasonable success then Predix could catch many major players off guard in 2015.
At the same time, there are also a number of smaller platforms that have previously been focusing on getting their technology right, but seem now ready to enter the growth stage. Likes of M2Mi, PLAT.ONE, SeeControl, and 2lemetry could make some waves over the next year." Read more...
Dell Opens Silicon Valley Internet of Things Lab
Excerpted from Austin Business Journal Report by Michael Theis
Dell has debuted its first lab devoted to researching the Internet of Things (IoT) at the company's Santa Clara, CA offices, reports the Silicon Valley Business Journal.
At the lab's official unveiling, Joyce Mullen, Dell's Vice President and General Manager of its Global OEM Solutions Group, told the crowd that Dell set-up the lab to learn more about the industry and to help develop standards around it.
Its IoT involvement means, of course, that Dell will help determine industry growth areas for which the company could eventually develop products.
Products that Round Rock, TX based Dell is developing at the lab include a smart pill dispenser; a chip that monitors changes in temperature, humidity, and air pressure; among others.
Dell teamed up with Intel, which contributed funding for the lab, unusual for an incubator-type lab.
Dell's partnership with California-based Intel is also important because it suggests proximity to great resources of processing power. Intel has not yet revealed the extent to which it will help Dell.
The lab is also critically located down the road from Echelon, the embedded components manufacturer.
This project between Intel and Dell follows the announcement earlier this year that they were collaborating to create the Open Interconnect Consortium, an alliance to create standards for IoT devices.
Dell, the No. 3 computer maker in the world, employs 14,000 workers in Central Texas. Read more...
BitTorrent Takes on Netflix and Amazon
Excerpted from The Guardian Report by Stuart Dredge
Technology firm BitTorrent has persuaded a range of musicians to distribute music using its "Bundles" feature, including Thom Yorke, Pixies, De La Soul and Moby. Now it's turning its attention to TV.
The company's first original TV series, Children of the Machine, will make its debut in the autumn of 2015, according to AdWeek.
The eight-episode show will be a free download on BitTorrent's file-sharing network supported by advertising, although fans will be able to pay $4.95 for an ad-free version, or $9.95 for that plus bonus content.
"This is a science fiction show catered to the typical tech-savvy, male-dominated audience," producer Marco Weber told AdWeek. "We're not trying to launch a romantic comedy, so the concept of this show moved us toward BitTorrent."
BitTorrent claims to have more than 170 million monthly active users on its network, with 40 million of them using it every day. Its pitch to creators of all stripes, from musicians to TV producers, is that it can put their work in front of that large audience, and help them make money from it.
Besides the musicians named above, BitTorrent bundles have been launched by Azealia Banks, Public Enemy, Alice in Chains, Diplo and Atari Teenage Riot from the music world.
Yorke chose BitTorrent as the distribution platform for his latest solo album, Tomorrow's Modern Boxes, using a "paygate" feature that got fans to pay $6 to unlock the whole album.
The free bundle has been downloaded 4.4 million times since its launch in late September, although neither Yorke nor BitTorrent has said how many of those downloaders subsequently paid. Read more...
Huawei to Build Testing Lab for NFV and SDN
Excerpted from CloudPro Report by Rene Millman
Huawei is building a testing lab to help spur the adoption of network-functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) technologies by telecom companies.
The firm said its Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Open Lab would stimulate innovation, development, and collaboration around NFV, SDN and other cloud computing technologies. It said the lab would ensure NFV offerings and carrier grade infrastructure are compatible with emerging NFV standards and with the Open Platform NFV source (OPNFV).
The NFV Open Lab will have three sites, located in China, Germany, and the US. Efforts will be focused on the integrating telecom NFV/SDN and cloud technologies, testing, technical showcases, and certifications for the emerging NFV industry.
Huawei is putting its full weight behind NFV, which it believes will "break the isolation of traditional telecommunications networks, shorten innovation cycles, reduce operating costs, and create an open industry chain".
A report by analyst firm Infonetics Research forecasted the market for global carrier SDN and NFV hardware and software to grow from less than $500 million in 2013 to more than $11 billion in 2018, with NFV accounting for the majority of the market.
"For three years, the telecom industry has been abuzz over SDN and NFV, with anticipation and hard work developing the vision, goals, architectures, use cases, proof-of-concept projects, field trials, and even some commercial deployments," said Michael Howard, Infonetics Research co-founder and principal analyst for carrier networks.
By 2018, SDN and NFV software will account for three-quarters of the overall revenues in the SDN and NFV market, according to Howard. Read more...
Cloud Computing Adoption Continues Accelerating
Excerpted from Forbes Report by Louis Columbus
A recent study by IDG found that 69% of enterprises have either applications or infrastructure running in the cloud today, up 12% from 2012. The IDG Enterprise Cloud Computing Study 2014 found that cloud investments have increased by 19% in large-scale enterprises (1,000+ employees) spending on average $3.3 million a year. In 2015, 24% of IT budgets will be allocated to cloud solutions, with the highest percentage being allocated to SaaS models.
69% of enterprises have at least one application or a portion of their computing infrastructure in the cloud, up from 57% of enterprises in 2012. 18% plan to use cloud-based applications and/or computing infrastructure via the cloud in the next 12 months, and 13% are planning to use cloud-based applications and/or computing infrastructure via the cloud within 1-to-3 years.
Enterprise investment in cloud computing have increased 19% since 2012, with the average investment of large-scale enterprises (+1,000 employees) reaching $3.33 million in 2014. Mid and smaller scale enterprises with less than 1,000 employees spent $400K this year on cloud solutions and technologies.
The ability to get up and running quickly with cloud-based applications (39%) and the lower cost of ownership they provide (39%) are the two most popular reasons why enterprises are transitioning to the cloud today. Replacing on-premise legacy technology (35%) is the third most common reason. This is especially true in manufacturing industries, where legacy ERP systems that can't scale to current and future business models are gradually being replaced.
Business/data analytics (19%), data storage/data management (18%), collaboration/conferencing solutions, content management systems, and IT infrastructure management (16%) are the top three application areas enterprises are planning to migrate to the cloud in the 12 months. Read more...
DevOps Is Creating Business Opportunities
Excerpted from Baseline Magazine Report by Dennis McCafferty
A clear majority of global organizations are either already implementing DevOps to produce applications or are planning to do so, according to a recent survey from Rackspace and Vanson Bourne.
The accompanying report, titled "DevOps Adoption," reveals that teams using DevOps are increasing new-feature delivery, business efficiencies, app uptime, customer satisfaction, and innovation.
That helps create a more agile organization that can respond more swiftly to business and technology changes.
"The momentum behind DevOps is driven by a perfect storm for disruption based on Internet business and collaboration technologies, open-source software, and cloud computing," Chris Jackson, CTO of DevOps services for Rackspace, wrote in the report.
"These technology shifts have placed new pressures on existing IT models and created opportunities for businesses to get value to customers faster, diversify the number of services they offer and use data more proactively to serve the business better."
An estimated 700 IT decision-makers in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia took part in the research.
You've heard the usual arguments for why practicing DevOps is good for your IT department — faster time to market and increased innovation are just two. A recent Rackspace-sponsored survey shows that DevOps can deliver business benefits, too, such as an increase in sales and customer conversions.
Of the respondents who set business-related goals, 66 percent set a goal of increasing customer satisfaction. With the potential to make software rollouts more agile, a DevOps plan can reduce delays for customers and solve problems more quickly, as long as a team is willing to embrace the new strategy.
