The five themes identified in Ovum's (News - Alert) "2017 Trends to Watch: IoT" report, that service providers and vendors should expect to see rapidly evolving this year, include:
"We saw the concept of the IoT go more mainstream in 2016. There was heavy media coverage of both the positives, for example Wi-Fi in your car and AI assistants in your home, and the negatives including DDoS attacks using IoT devices and poor transparency on data usage," continued Gavin Whitechurch, Founder of Internet of Things World. "Behind the hype, solid progress is being made on a number of IoT technologies, tools, and business models, setting the scene for significant evolution of the IoT in 2017. We look forward to seeing many of these technologies on display at this year's Internet of Things World."
