A Report released Tuesday by a Coalition of Tech Industry groups and Companies calls on the United States to Adopt a National Strategy on the Internet of Things (IoT), enacting Legislation to ensure the Nation benefits from the evolving Network of Internet-connected Cars, Appliances, and other Devices while also managing Cybersecurity concerns.
The National IoT Strategy Dialogue final Report includes Recommendations from the Information Technology Industry Council, the Semiconductor Industry Association, Intel, and Samsung.
The Recommendations call on Congress and the Administration to:
- Adopt a Uniform broad-based Definition of the IoT.
- Prioritize a National IoT Strategy by Passing the Bipartisan Developing Innovation and Growing the Internet of Things Act.
- Ensure consistent IoT Standards and Rules at the Federal and International levels, promoting Global Consensus-based, Industry-led Standards.
- Encourage flexible Federal Policies that Promote Innovation and Best Practices for IoT-integrated Security, including Multi-Stakeholder Efforts.
- Prioritize and Incentivize the Development of “Smart” Infrastructure.
- Invest in IoT Public-Private Partnerships, Research, and Testbeds.
Tens of Billions of Devices will be Connected to the IoT by 2020, generating Trillions of Dollars in value from increasingly Intelligent Data, New Business Models and Services. This Transformation underscores the need for a U.S. National Strategy. The Technology industry has been actively engaged with Policymakers in Advocating an Innovative Policy Environment for the IoT over the past three years. In 2015, Intel, ITI, and others started to call for the Formation of this National IoT Strategy while testifying before Congress and, in 2016, Samsung further iterated that call in Washington.
