Re: AT&T's Donovan blew it out of the water
The challenge is to create a standard that everyone buys into. My fear is that due to the proliferation of initiatives out there (Nest; Verizon; etc.) what is promising (and Business Insider has a report on it about the possibilities) may become even more challenging to sustain for that sense of value that all of us strive for.

Re: AT&T's Donovan blew it out of the water
@mpouraryan yes, the question of standards is important, particularly when different definitions are attached to certain terms.

@Ariella: It is not easy by any stretch--the challenge is to create that sense of balance. I would humbly suggest that those who actually are able to figure it out, will be truly at the heart of the transformation we all want and "hopefully" vie for.

@batye: The key is to not "buy into" the hype per se and truly be smart. Although, for instance, the Verizon announcement on "iOT" is great--the question of standards is a challenge as well.

@mpourayan true, one has to keep some salt on hand to add the requisite number of grains when hearing hyped news.

What is clear in this discourse is simple: Caveat Emptor (Buyer be aware!!). The hype is a given by all who are zealous advocates for their technology.

Price should only be one factor--right? Hopefully people understand the true value of the investment and the long-term return along with the viability of the technology itself.
