About this ebook
As a broadband operator you may be feeling confused by the Internet of Things (IoT) and what it has to do with you. Wondering what it is, where it came from and what you, as an operator, really need to know (and do) about it? The Internet of Things Explained story begins at the dawn of IoT with an eerily correct 1926 prediction to the “aha!” moment of Kevin Ashton and some lipstick in 1999. You will get a clearer understanding of why you should care about the IoT and the inevitable effect between the IoT and IPv6 on you network. Read why it’s so crucial for broadband service providers to be the first foot in the door for what is being hailed as the thing that will change the world as we know it.
