It was a quite busy week, but I made it. ย And as usual you can get access to the presentations that I gave on the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and M2M on this blog.ย
The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming exponentially reviewed by regulators. ย After the report from the Italian telecom regulator (AgCom), the Italian privacy authority just launched a consultation seeking inputs from the industry on how to regulate the IoT.
I will be running two sessions on Internet of Things law matters at the M2M+ Forum in Milan on Monday 27 April 2015, one of the main events on the topic.
The potential โฌ 6 Bn fine to be issued against Google by European competition authorities is close to the 5% global turnover fine prescribed by the new EU privacy regime. ย What are the consequences for Internet of Things operators?

The Indian Government adopted an Internet of Things policy to incentivise investments in the manufacturing sector in India. ย The question is whether a similar initiative shall be adopted by any country.
