Target Audience was Telecom Managers
Very positive and enthusiastic response

Key feedback: DON’T BURN US!

We Ran Focus Groups and Did Primary Research

No Standards = No Market

stakeholders to collaborate
Needed an entity to manage
inclusion and stakeholder
effort

The number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years

Futures: IoT, IoP, IoE
There are now more devices in
U.S. homes (425 M) connected to the
internet than there are U.S. residents
(315 M)
The average US internet household
now has 5.7 internet-connected
devices.
This trend is global

connected devices across tech sector
