Summary:The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly developing, primarily driven by businesses that see opportunities for profit through new business and business models. Good public use of IoT can pay off rapidly, and lead to the ability of serving citizens and businesses better, at lower costs, in more inclusive ways. Currently, IoT providers such as the globally popular "Nest" smart meters and smoke detectors, owned by Google, still refer to "Safe Harbour Agreement" protection of personal data. Businesses are looking for guidance, as BigData is a subject of interest to many, and companies around the world are looking into the opportunities offered by BigData, data generation, collection, and analytics. Drivers for IoT introduction include the need to address societal challenges in efficient ways, and to grab business opportunities that often come with new business models. Dialogues at global level have led to the insight that IoT needs to "go ethical".
