 The IoT connects currently
isolated industrial islands.
 This leads to disruptive and rapid
changes in ‘old economies'
business models (e.g. Flat Rate)’.
 From branch internal
competition to cross-sector
collaborations.
 Slow companies might not survive
because they didn’t recognize the
train that was hitting them.
 Mind Ray Kurzweil.
