Where do telecom operators go from here?CM Research
Why have telecom operators performed so badly over the last decade and what strategy do they need to adopt in order to remain relevant in the Digital World?
Telcos’ have consistently underperformed analyst and market expectations … their stock market recoveries after the 2000 crash and the 2007 crash were weak relative to the rest of TMT.
Their core revenues – voice, messaging and internet access – are now in terminal decline (or at least moving towards terminal decline).
Their future is tied to over-the-top services such as internet TV, mobile payments and cloud services.
Telcos remain the most over-regulated part of the internet value chain, so any super-normal profits they attempt to make from new technology cycles risk being capped by the regulator.
In order to survive, Telcos need to latch on to one of the many emerging technology cycles mentioned on page 19.
But they also need to change their business models:
- By moving towards software services
- By restructuring their businesses such that their new products are not regulated
- By consolidating to eliminate excess competition
SK Telecom is an example of how the move to software can raise shareholder returns.
BT’s ring-fencing of its regulated activity into Openreach is an example of the type of internal restructuring that can raise shareholder returns
AT&T and Verizon are living proof that industry consolidation will raise shareholder returns.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

our planet can derive the greatest benefit from IoT over
the next two years.

It’s what lets a parent monitor and set driving rules
for their newly licensed teenager. It’s what enables
a working mom with sleep apnea to rest peacefully
every night.
It’s at work in a California vineyard, measuring soil
and moisture conditions to improve plant quality, lower
operating costs and increase crop value. It’s helping to
speed up emergency services and reduce fatalities on
the nation’s roadways.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is in your home, in your car
and phone, and, increasingly, on your body. It’s connecting
citizens to their cities, linking patients to health services,
bringing companies in closer touch with their customers
and capturing our imaginations. In-vehicle geofencing and
other applications considered novel just a year or so ago
are rapidly becoming part of our everyday lives.
Beyond just a project
In our view, 2015 was the year IoT gained legitimacy.
Businesses budged off a “start small think big” mindset.
Today, they’re building IoT into future strategies and
business models. Companies across all industries now
have IoT squarely on their radar. The worldwide Internet
of Things market spend will grow from $591.7 billion
in 2014 to $1.3 trillion in 2019 with a compound annual
growth rate of 17%. The installed base of IoT endpoints
will grow from 9.7 billion in 2014 to more than 25.6 billion
in 2019, hitting 30 billion in 20201.
And while IoT applications range far and wide, when
we think about IoT, we largely focus on the following
key areas - smart communities/smart cities, energy,
agriculture, transportation, healthcare and home
monitoring. We’ve also seen dramatic increases in
activity and innovation on the consumer front as well.
For example, wearables, which already had a head
start with fitness trackers, got an even bigger boost
in awareness and adoption as more traditional players
brought out connected watch solutions. And we’ll
continue to see a tremendous amount of innovation in
smartwatches and other IoT solutions for the consumer,
especially as technologies for the individual, the car
and the home become untethered from the phone and
increasingly converge with other things around them.

Enterprises view IoT as a new revenue stream. A study
we commissioned by Oxford Economics shows that
revenue growth is by far the biggest factor driving IoT
adoption. Throughout 2016 and beyond, we’ll continue
to see IoT deployed as a mainstream path to generating
higher revenue, thanks largely to the rise of four key
trends which have come to an inflection point in the
past year; data monetization, core IoT networks and low
power devices, platforms as a service, and investment in
IoT startups.
Data is king
Although the amount of “things” in use is growing rapidly,
IoT services will be the real value drivers in the coming
years. We believe companies of all sizes will invest in
creating and selling new services based on insights
generated by data from IoT-connected devices. Gartner
estimates that “the Internet of Things (IoT) will support
total services spending of $235 billion in 2016”2
. This is
in sharp contrast with what we have seen to date. In the
past, the push was to collect and use data primarily for
the purpose of improving the operational efficiency of the
corporation itself.
Yet, despite the huge revenue potential that data
monetization presents, our Oxford Economics study
found that today only 8% of businesses are actually
using more than 25% of their IoT data3
. Nearly 50% of
businesses already on the IoT journey estimate that in
two to three years they will be using more than 25% of
their data as companies realize the value in monetizing
new products and services, driven by insights from data
to drive down costs or increase revenues3.
Networks at the core
Core IoT networks will enable the cost-efficient
connection of millions of Category 1 or “Cat 1” devices,
which are sensors and devices containing smaller
computer chipsets and requiring less power than
smartphones and some other mobile devices. This makes
them less expensive to deploy in large numbers. Utility
meters fall into the Cat 1 classification. Up until now, the
cost to connect such devices to a wide-area network has
been a major barrier to widespread IoT deployment, but
the evolving IoT network and device ecosystem is rapidly
changing to remove this barrier.
Moreover, 5G, the next generation of wireless technology,
will provide an end-to-end ecosystem to enable a fully
mobile and connected society. With speeds measured in
multiple gigabits per/second, latency in the single digit
milliseconds and the capacity to handle 1,000 times
more consumption than current network technologies,
5G promises to deliver on IoT opportunities like robotics,
autonomous vehicles and the massive scale expected in
a truly connected world.

Platforms as a service (PaaS)
Creating, implementing and managing IoT applications
is a complex process. It involves sensors and mobile
devices, secure network connectivity, storage, big data
analytics, the ability to scale new services and ongoing
integration and fine-tuning. Not surprisingly, most
enterprises, regardless of size, do not have all of these
capabilities and skills in-house to make IoT a reality.
We see complexity, a fragmented ecosystem and
concerns about security and privacy as the key
factors that are driving the proliferation of IoT
platforms. These platforms are designed to make
building and deploying applications easier, faster,
secure and more accessible for everyone.
Investment in IoT startups
As a CEO from one of the largest banks in the world
famously declared, “Silicon Valley is coming,” confirmation
that the explosion of activity among tech start-ups
and larger tech companies is posing a serious threat
to business as usual. Tech disruption is not unique to
financial institutions. A wide range of industries are
under competitive pressure from non-traditional players,
leading to some interesting mash-ups. For example, amid
changing demographic preferences, the auto industry
has taken notice of ride-sharing as an immediate threat
which has resulted in large-scale investments from top
automakers in companies like Uber and Lyft.
The race to usher in new business models and revenue
streams through IoT shows no signs of slowing down in
the near future. According to analysis conducted by our
venture capital (VC) arm, Verizon Ventures, we estimate
that consumer IoT startups raised 15% more VC funding
than enterprise-focused startups in 2014. However, in
2015, roles seemed to have reversed with enterprise
outpacing consumer by around 75%. In 2016, we believe
the enterprise will continue that trend, but by a much
larger order of magnitude—roughly 2 – 3 times more
than consumer. 2016 will see enterprise IoT VC funding
considerably dominate that of consumer.
Consistent with these trends, our experts say that
the next 18 months will continue to give rise to tech
accelerators specifically tailored for a wide range of
industries. Think of accelerators as the intersection of
IoT innovation meets Industry X. These programs are
designed to fuel growth by providing tech startups with
funding, proof of concept resources and mentoring.
On the flip side, increased participation in accelerator
programs as a corporate partner allows enterprises to
learn about new IoT technologies that can either be
woven into their existing products and services or to
create new products and services intended to drive
new revenue opportunities.
5G promises to deliver on IoT
opportunities like robotics and
autonomous vehicles.
In 2016, enterprise IoT startups
will generate two to three times
more funding than their consumer
counterparts.

Factors
accelerating adoption
Evolving regulatory landscape
Regulatory compliance is a huge driving factor behind
IoT adoption. We’ve already seen how the Energy Act
(2007) in the U.S. accelerated efforts to monitor energy
consumption. Nearly a decade later, the installed base
of remote-capable meters with smart grid app support is
expected to reach 454 million in 2016 and to more than
double by 2020, making it a leading IoT device.
Consider the Drug Supply Chain Act. This legislation
gives drug manufacturers until late 2017 to electronically
transfer and store transaction histories for their
prescription drugs, including shipment information across
their distribution supply chain. The law is designed to
thwart counterfeit drugs which cost the industry
$75 billion annually4
.
Similar requirements in other sectors such as the
beverage and construction industries, where the product
can change hands up to 10 times—from manufacturer
to consumer—will drive the deployment of millions of
sensors to track machines and other assets. IoT will
allow small and medium-sized businesses as well as large
enterprises to quickly provide critical information to their
customers and supply chain partners.
In the US, the agriculture and food industry is deploying
sensors on an ever-widening scale to monitor key
production conditions, shipping time and other metrics
as a means to comply with a new and comprehensive set
of reporting requirements under the 2015 Food Safety
Modernization Act.
In the public sector, demand is steadily increasing for
intelligent traffic and multimodal transportation solutions
such as bikes, scooters and skateboards as alternatives
to cars. These efforts are designed to enhance livability
for residents and reduce congestion for businesses and
other organizations such as colleges and universities.
However, considering that many municipalities continue
to grapple with aging infrastructure, redesigning streets
to accommodate expanded modes of transportation is
a huge undertaking. Our experts say that public-private
partnerships to make funding viable will be key.
Indeed, more and more “things”—ranging from remotely
programmable home thermostats and wearable health
and fitness devices to aircraft jet engines and the
nation’s power grid—will be added to the internet every
day. Devices, connectivity, and IT services will make up
the majority of the projected $1.3 trillion IoT market in
2019. Modules and sensors alone will comprise 23%
of that total1.

Growing consumer expectations
Consumers have grown to appreciate their smartphones,
but in an IoT-enabled world, they are starting to
understand that their phones can do more. With so much
potential at their fingertips, consumers expect to remain
constantly connected while also feeling in control of how
and when they choose to connect to the people and
things that matter to them the most.
Our experts say that consumer expectations fall into
three buckets.
I want technology to work for
me, not the other way around.“

Tech Solutionists: These consumers live through
mobile and are willing to try new technologies and
apps that can introduce a better way of life.
Growing Networks: Whether watching out for
an aging parent or beginning to start a family of
their own, the network of things they care about
continues to change and expand.

on the people and things they care about and
subsequently seek out products and services
that can help with this.

Apple has HomeKit, Verizon has ThingSpace, Google has
Brillo, IBM has Watson and Cisco has Jasper. These and
numerous other platforms populating the IoT marketplace
promise a secure infrastructure and a set of tools that
enable developers to build IoT applications, then manage
the vast array of connected devices and the huge
volumes of data those endpoints generate.
One-stop shop for developers
In a nutshell, the platforms work to jump-start the
development and deployment of IoT apps by radically
simplifying the process for building and managing
applications. Platforms provide a one-stop shop for
development tools, secure network connectivity and
everything else needed to launch, scale and manage
apps. With IoT, simplicity is a necessary starting point,
and platforms like ThingSpace are designed to create
zero friction for developers.
For example: with just three mouse clicks, developers
working on ThingSpace can access the platform’s
growing library of application program interfaces (APIs).
They also have access to one of the most advanced data
and analytics operations of any industry.
Easing innovation for enterprises
Today’s IoT platforms address head on the problems
of complexity and fragmentation that up until now have
been two of the biggest barriers to IoT innovation. Before,
developers had to go through multiple channels and
cumbersome processes to access and integrate the
tools they need to create and launch state-of-the-art
applications. The availability of mature platforms not
only simplifies the development process, it allows
enterprise users to drive the creation of new product
and service categories as a foundation for future
contextual experiences for consumers, businesses
and citizens. Users can also manage their IoT
environments and related data, end-to-end, from
device to network to application.
IoT innovation simplified
Farming for oysters
In his commitment to efficient and sustainable
seafood production techniques, Dr. Daniel Ward,
an entrepreneur-scientist, established Ward
Aquafarms, a 10 acre, 1,000 cage aquaculture
farm located in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Ward’s
mission is to deliver the freshest seafood possible.
The majority of the farm is dedicated to growing
Eastern Oysters. Verizon, in collaboration with
systems manufacturer Mobotix AG, has enhanced
Ward’s ability to monitor the safety of its Oyster
harvest-to-bag process and predict growth.
Mobotix onboarded its state-of-the-art thermal
radiometry sensor enabled-cameras with
ThingsSpace and was up and running on Verizon’s
IoT platform in less than an hour. With the help
of Verizon’s Professional Services team, satellite
imaging data has been combined with other
complex data such as environmental and sub-
tidal water temperature, chlorophyll values, and
others. Verizon Professional Services analyzes
and contextualizes these inputs and provides
specific insights that are valuable for Ward’s
aquafarming operations.

Mass customization of apps
Platforms also work to democratize the process of app
development, which is especially important given that
the IoT market is not a single, monolithic market but is
instead composed of tens of thousands of small markets.
A physician, for example, may have a great idea for an IoT
device and app that would help the 400,000 children in
the US with juvenile asthma. But amassing the resources
necessary to build a solution for such a relatively small
market would be challenging. An IoT platform provides
the tools necessary to build and launch such a solution
in an efficient manner. As one observer put it:
Looking ahead, manufacturers and other enterprises
will roll out application program interfaces for developers.
Developers in turn could create customized applications
for say, local and regional markets, adding a new layer
of economic value to the IoT ecosystem. The same thing
has already happened with the smartphone. Once the
platform was opened to the developer community, millions
of applications emerged.
We predict a very similar education cycle with IoT. Up until
the last year or so, the IoT market didn’t fully understand
that IoT technologies and apps are just as personal as
our homes, our cars and our bodies.
Going forward, as new IoT apps continue to emerge,
developers will need to deliver experiences that inform
users—whether they’re consumers or businesses or
citizens—about their world so that they can connect to
what matters most, rather than limit those experiences
when something goes awry. The takeaway should not
be “Oh no, I lost my bag—what happened to that app I
installed?” Instead, app experiences in an IoT-enabled
world should be more robust and fully integrated in our
daily lives.
“IoT platforms enable people living
a problem to construct solutions
and bring them to market cost-
effectively.”
IoT is not a single, monolithic
market but is instead composed of
tens of thousands of small markets.
Making life
more convenient
BuildingLink.com aims to be the gold standard
choice for residential property managers looking
to upgrade more than 3,200 luxury residential
properties. To bring this experience to the next
level for residents, BuildingLink used ThingSpace
to create a sensor network covering the fitness
center and laundry room facilities in a luxury
apartment building located in Manhattan.
ThingSpace allows residents to check real-time
availability of treadmills, stairmasters, washing
machines, etc. on a dashboard included in their
mobile app. The app provides machine-specific
utilization patterns for building management
who can then intelligently remove under-utilized
machines and add them back in the queue of those
most in demand.
Wireless networks of the
past were designed for
smartphones. Most devices
today are not as sophisticated
as smartphones. Enabling
developers to create
applications on devices built
for IoT using IoT platforms
requires transforming wireless
networks into a gateway that
developers can program
themselves. That’s the power
of ThingSpace.

10. State of the Market: The Internet of Things 2016
Many of the technology, data and integration
advancements underway with IoT come together in
increasingly connected and cognizant cars. Telematics
technology has gained momentum largely due to
decreasing costs of hardware, software and connectivity
and growing ease of use. Gartner has predicted “a huge
increase in connected automobiles over the next five
years. By 2020, there will be a quarter billion connected
vehicles on the road, enabling new in-vehicle services and
automated driving capabilities”7.
Data integration and app convergence in the connected
car space has worked to streamline and simplify the
delivery of solutions that address real-world scenarios
and empower consumers in their day-to-day lives.
However, retailers note that parents, for example, don’t
walk into a store and ask for the latest and greatest
IoT-enabled gadget. Instead, what they ask for is a way
to tell whether their daughter—who just got her driver’s
license and borrowed the family car—got home safely
from school.
On the enterprise front, telematics technology is enabling
trucking companies and other fleet operators to comply
with regulations requiring them to track and report driving
behavior and drivers’ hours. Automatic logging and
reporting has been tied to reducing highway accidents
and fatalities since it alerts drivers when they are nearing
their drive time limit. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration is working on rules to require so-called
e-logging devices in all interstate trucks and buses as
early as 2017.
Verizon Telematics will soon roll out an LTE solution as
a standard feature for the OEM automotive market. In
recent years, automakers have realized the benefits of
having all of their cars and customers connected. For
starters, connected cars save lives. In fact, according
to our automotive experts, safety continues to rank
first in terms of the overall awareness and value that
it brings to the connected car. In addition to enhanced
safety measures, Verizon’s 4G LTE’s high bandwidth
and low latency will enable features like audio and video
streaming as well as over-the-air updates allowing OEMs
to deliver an enhanced customer experience. Verizon’s all
LTE solution is also designed to facilitate global service
as OEMs seek to compete in new markets.

Consumers and businesses want information they can
use to improve their lives and the bottom line. They need
not just data but a way to analyze it so they can make
better decisions.
Going forward, companies looking to grow their
revenue will exploit the information they collect via
“things” to better understand and serve customers,
improve products and create customized solutions for
individual customers.
Advancing intelligent transportation
Take the app for the city bus on your smartphone that
alerts you when the next bus is scheduled to depart for
your evening commute home. By combining this data
with data on your calendar and your friends’ calendars,
predictive analytics could determine when you might
need to take an alternate bus route. Imagine receiving a
notification on your smartphone that suggests taking bus
No. 57 rather than bus No. 10 so that you can stop at your
favorite store on the way home and buy a birthday gift for
your family member. It can also re-route buses based on
passenger needs at various times of the day.
Let’s say that you arrive back at the bus stop near your
home late one night, but still need to walk home, which
is approximately one mile away. Prescriptive analytics
goes a step further, by offering alternate modes of
transportation such as a bike or ride-share so that you
don’t have to walk home alone in the dark which might
help prevent an unsafe situation.
This requires a convergence of IoT data and analytics
capabilities that can scale to handle the massive
volumes of data generated by millions of sensors.

The supply chain reimagined
Consider, for example, the massive number of touch
points in the pharmaceutical supply chain, from plant
materials to packaged products on a store shelf. Today,
companies widely use RFID technology to track the
movement of products, but the technology is limited. It
can tell when and where an item was scanned, but there
is little to no visibility into what happened between two
scanned points.
IoT devices enable companies to track heat, light and
other relevant factors. By integrating this data with say,
weather and traffic data, the company can make better
decisions because it has a more holistic view that is tied
to the business.
Companies also can set up rules to govern shipments
based on real-time conditions. If it’s raining, take Highway
10 because the usual Highway 5 route floods in rainy
weather. The ability to collect, integrate and act on data
from multiple sources is what enables predictive and
prescriptive analytics.
The role of domain experts
Without question, virtually all industries will be inundated
with a deluge of IoT data. Contextualizing that data for
different kinds of businesses is imperative. Along with
analytics capability, subject matter expertise will be an
increasingly critical component of IoT platforms and the
overall IoT ecosystem.
Agronomists, public health experts, structural engineers
and other experts will bring their expertise to data
modeling and the creation of algorithms that go into
predictive and prescriptive analytics, benefiting the
food, health and building industries.
In the event of a power outage, for example, a power
company could receive an automatic notification from
the meters of every home and business without power—
thus helping to detect the source of the power problem—
plus have access to a map showing where each of its
technicians are located and get prescriptive advice for
dispatching them in the most efficient manner.
Up until now, the world of IoT has been a pretty geeky
place. Yes, gadgets could learn behaviors but each
gadget came with its own software, set up and variations.
Now, the platform’s capabilities enable apps to learn
enough about human behavior around multiple devices
so a parent or homeowner does not have to create a set
of rules for each and every device. Instead, the platform
will automatically ensure that relevant data generated
by a thermostat, for example, is communicated to
appropriate appliances and adjust them accordingly.
Helping the patient
on the go
Verizon is currently working with industry experts
like AMC Health that delivers mobile patient
monitoring solutions via smart phones and tablets.
Customers may continue using services from their
home and anywhere the Verizon mobile network
is available. For example, by using AMC Health’s
mobile patient monitoring solution, an active
pregnant woman who needs to track her blood
sugar can use a mobile device to communicate
readings from her glucometer at any time and any
place she chooses, and that information is stored
securely in the cloud. Her care provider has 24/7
access to her information and can determine
whether she, her baby or both are at risk. Using
this information, the woman’s health care provider
can provide more timely and appropriate care for
the benefit of both mother and baby.

Security involves multiple layers
IoT security and privacy
The sheer volume of IoT devices constantly producing
communications, require careful security and privacy
considerations. There is no current IoT protection
framework that’s ahead of the implementation of
this technology. The industry is keeping up with the
development of technology by looking to the rising
threat vectors—some old, some new—that will impact
deployments and ongoing operations. Authentication
of critical data, and baseline triggers for action are the
emerging security focus.
How devices will mutually authenticate to a reliable
degree of authenticity to prevent rogue commands
and communications or data leakage is a priority
consideration. Communications could be interrupted
given a variety of factors and unless there is an
assurance that corresponding devices are legitimate,
there is no basis for secure operations.
The scale of data being communicated within specific
ranges or environments is a factor for maintaining
consistent operations, but critical data that can be traced
and identified requires a privacy technique known as
“pseudonomization” of the data—that is, assigning an
obscured identifier to the data so that it doesn’t readily
map to a known person, address, etc. This is not one
process, but a series of interactive pieces that will be a
priority to test, protect and defend.
Communications between devices that trigger activity is
of the highest concern to validate and secure. The timing
of response ultimately is what creates the beneficial
experience when the technology is functioning as
designed, it is always the unintended, overlooked, or
malicious capabilities that have to continue to inform
security and privacy design, and implementation.
According to our Oxford Economics study, security and
privacy concerns are long-standing issues. Respondents
noted that success depends on developing systems,
policies and procedures for managing the information
that IoT generates3
. Changes to ways of working and
new skills are key opportunities.

Industry experts have quipped that the agriculture
industry is proof that soon, every company will be an IoT
business. Why? Because the benefits that growers are
reaping by deploying IoT technologies to their fields—
namely bigger crop yields, overall operational efficiencies
and reduced costs—are too valuable to ignore.
One of the biggest trends in farming today is precision
agriculture, the practice of sensing and responding to
variable soil, moisture, weather and other conditions
across different plots. Farmers are deploying wireless
sensors and weather stations to gather real-time data
about things such as how much water different plants
need and whether they require pest management or
fertilizer. (See page 17 sidebar on Hahn Family Wines.)
Using this data, growers can customize growing
processes. Indeed, one of the biggest benefits IoT offers
farmers is the ability to gather much more granular data
about smaller parcels of land. With site-specific data,
growers can then optimize growing conditions on a
plot-by-plot basis, boosting yields, improving quality
and cutting costs in the process.
In the wine industry, for example, the amount of water
that different grape plants require depends on the kind
and quality of wine that will be produced from them. Pinot
Noir grapes have different soil and moisture requirements
than Chardonnay grapes, yet a grower may be cultivating
both kinds of vines in adjacent plots. Collecting and
analyzing real-time data from different plots enables
farmers to fully optimize growing conditions for all
plants under cultivation.
Verizon’s agriculture IoT solution is designed to gain
insights and provide actionable intelligence at a block
level. On a multi-acre farm, block level is defined as
adjacent acres with unified conditions. Growers can
collect sensor data for each block and then calibrate
watering or the spraying of herbicides or fungicides for
each block.
Site-specific data can also help farmers satisfy the
demands of 21st-century consumers who want to know
more than ever before about where their food comes
from and how it was grown.
According to the United States Department of
Agriculture, consumer demand for organically produced
goods continues to show double-digit growth, providing
market incentives for U.S. farmers across a broad range
of products. Organic products are now available in
nearly 20,000 natural food stores and nearly 3 out of
4 conventional grocery stores. Organic sales account
for over 4 percent of total U.S. food sales, according to
recent industry statistics.
To meet organic standards, farmers can’t use synthetic
pesticides, growth hormones or antibiotics and instead
must find other methods to improve soil quality. One
alternative being explored is the use of pheromones
which could work to disrupt the mating patterns of
pests harmful to crops. In this scenario, wireless sensor
networks would monitor pest counts and when a
dangerous level is detected, a pheromone delivery
system would be activated.
The total market size for
digital precision agriculture
services is expected to grow
at a compound annual growth
rate of 12.2% between 2014
and 2020, to reach $4.55
billion9.

IoT-enabled agriculture makes good business sense. But
there is an even bigger factor driving adoption across the
farming industry.
The Internet of Things is also poised to play a key role
in helping farmers comply with anticipated regulatory
reporting requirements around issues like water usage.
Sensors will automatically monitor irrigation activity and
aggregate data at the block level to allow for accurate
reporting. More broadly, IoT will help promote the efficient
use of resources and will result in high-quality products
while preserving the Earth.
A new generation of technology-savvy farmers is
embracing digital agriculture. As a result, big data
analytics is expected to play an expanded role in
food production.
IoT platforms are already becoming populated with
agriculture-specific applications developed by university-
based agronomy researchers. This will enable even small
and mid-sized farmers to share in the benefits
of precision agriculture going forward.
Precision agriculture relies on IoT
It makes seeding, irrigation and the application
of fertilizers and pesticides more accurate. It
monitors livestock for location and movement,
so injury, illness or theft can be instantly detected.
And it brings new levels of automation to crop
harvesting.
Feeding a growing population
IoT is transforming agriculture and enabling
farmers to overcome challenges such as water
shortages, escalating costs and the limited
availability of land, all of which are critical in
meeting the food needs of a global population.
The demand for food is expected to grow by
70% by 205011.
With the world’s population
expected to grow by 2 billion,
to 9.7 billion in 205010
, and
with a limited amount of arable
land, finding better methods to
feed the planet has become a
global imperative.

Hahn Family Wines, a family-owned winery based in the
Santa Lucia Highlands in California’s Monterey County,
has launched a pilot project with Verizon that uses
sensor data and analytics to conserve resources and add
precision to watering and fertilizing five six-acre blocks
at the company’s 1,000-acre vineyard. IoT technology
promises to increase yields plus improve the quality
of the harvest by targeting irrigation and customizing
fertilizer applications to specific plots.
“Water is one of the most important tools we have as
vineyard managers,” says Andy Mitchell, director of
viticulture at Hahn. “With this technology, instead of
a 50-, 60- or 100-acre sampling site, we’ll be able to
micro-manage and get very specific on certain blocks.
This will help us get to the next level in approaching
world-class status.”
Hahn has equipped each block in the pilot with a water
flowmeter at the water pump, a battery-operated moisture
probe that measures four different levels of soil where
the grapes are growing, and a weather station to measure
air temperature and other conditions. An IoT gateway
continuously monitors data from the various sensors
and transmits it wirelessly to Verizon’s Ag tech solution
on ThingSpace.
Having all of this information will help the company in
applying chemicals to different blocks, Mitchell says.
The Santa Lucia Highlands has ideal growing conditions
for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines, but unfortunately,
also for mildew.
“We’re prone to mildew, so we have to stay vigilant. This
additional information will help us be more efficient with
sprays,” he explains, adding that in the absence of site-
specific data, vineyards have used single spraying across
their acreage.
In the pilot, Hahn is using the weather station to monitor
solar radiation, wind velocity, humidity and temperature
in the air above the vine-canopy. Using this data, the
company can time and target its use of fungicide sprays
to prevent disease and rotting, which can be caused by
heavy condensation.
Verizon’s Ag tech solution makes data available on
a dashboard, and Hahn can check the information
in real-time and adjust growing processes accordingly.
“We’re really looking forward to getting more and more
precise, and we’re already looking at variable frequency
motors that will let us put out different levels and different
pressures of spray to different blocks,” Mitchell says.

The world’s population is migrating to cities. Already,
54% of the world’s people live in urban areas, with an
estimated 180,000 more moving to cities each day12
.
The World Health Organization estimates that by 2050,
approximately two-thirds of the global population will be
city dwellers13
.
Rapid urbanization is putting a huge strain on city
services not to mention aging infrastructure that supports
fire and emergency services, public transportation,
lighting, sewer and sanitation systems.
And while IoT is providing the way forward, focusing on
smart cities alone is only scratching the surface. Realizing
the vision of smart cities requires effectively addressing
the needs of even smaller communities including
neighborhoods, industrial parks, venues, multi-dwelling
units, colleges and universities.
IoT technology is providing a way forward. Smart
streetlights equipped with sensors are saving cities
energy and money by detecting pedestrians, cyclists and
vehicles so that lights brighten and dim when they sense
movement. Cities can analyze this data for other useful
information about traffic patterns, parking spaces and
public safety requirements. At least one smart lighting
manufacturer, for example, is exploring technology that
would detect gunfire and, with real-time data analysis,
pinpoint the location of shots and notify emergency
dispatchers to send police officers to the area14
.
In Charlotte, North Carolina, a public-private partnership
known as Envision Charlotte has been measuring and
continually displaying energy used by uptown buildings, a
move the city says has helped to reduce the city’s energy
use by 16% and keep 220,999 metric tons of greenhouse
gases from being emitted15

an organizational structure
that encourages flexibility
and cross-functional work
is important for improving
performance around IoT3
.
76% Now, a spinoff group called Envision America has taken
the energy conservation and efficiency program to
several other cities, broadening it to include water, waste
and air as well. Both programs reinforce the adage that
“what gets measured, gets done.”
San Diego, California, and Jacksonville, Florida both have
trials underway that use LED streetlight technology to
collect real-time data not only to manage lighting, but also
to manage parking, locate and identify potholes and keep
track of repairs to municipal streets.
Yet to deliver value to citizens and ensure sustainability,
municipalities must do more than monitor and measure.
This is where the power of analytics comes in to play.
Analytics can integrate and analyze data in new ways
to make innovative municipal services possible.
The vision is that of a citywide information network
composed of connected, sensor-equipped streetlights
that will both save energy costs and enable new city
services. Imagine motorists receiving a text message
when a parking space becomes available in the vicinity
where they want to shop.
Mobile technology is making a considerable contribution
to action on climate change according to Mobile Carbon
Impact, a report released by the Global e-Sustainability
Initiative (GeSI), authored by the Carbon Trust. The
analysis found that the use of mobile in the US and
Europe alone is already enabling a saving of more
than 180 million tonnes of carbon emissions a year, an
amount greater than the total annual emissions of the
New York State. This abatement, or reduction impact, is
approximately 5 times greater than the emissions emitted
from the operation of the mobile networks16

Bedford Park, Illinois
Forward-thinking city officials like Mayor David R. Brady
view smart cities as a means to attract new businesses,
a younger workforce and a re-energized tax base to
urban areas like Bedford Park, Illinois.
Located immediately south of Chicago’s Midway Airport,
Bedford Park is an ideal business location. 90% of its
land area is devoted to industry and it is home to 380
companies17
.
“Traditionally, we’re more of an industrial and commercial
area, and we think a smart city will help us compete for
more diversified and tech-oriented businesses,” Brady
says. “It sets us up for the future.”
Bedford Park is home to 200 residences and 600
residents, all of which have been equipped with fiber-
optic connections to provide residents with internet
speeds that are 20 times faster than average. “We did
that to attract Millennials,” Brady explains. The strategic
goal is to make Bedford Park a showcase Smart City
Municipal Innovation District that integrates multiple
smart village services that benefit the village’s businesses
and residents.
Bedford Park isn’t alone. Municipalities nationwide are
working to attract start-ups, new businesses, jobs, and a
new generation of workers, homeowners and taxpayers.
A critical success factor is a strong digital infrastructure
enabling a sharing economy. Millennials are driving a
transformational shift away from ownership of cars,
homes and other assets. Instead, the overwhelming
trend is toward asset sharing, which increases overall
sustainability, yet another area where the IoT is poised to
play a huge role in the next 18 months or so.
Of those who have tried the sharing economy, 72% say
they envision themselves being a consumer in the sharing
economy by the end of 2016. Young adults aged 18 – 24
are most excited by the sharing economy18

Energy and utility companies are regulated and must
modernize their aging infrastructures, all while increasing
efficiency and keeping costs down.
IoT is already playing a role in addressing these
challenges, and moving forward, its role is likely
to expand significantly.
At the center of this ecosystem is data which can
be remotely collected from meters, pipes and other
equipment and assets, then analyzed to enable a better
understanding of not only power usage but also power
quality, the location of outages and the condition of
critical infrastructure.
New low-power, low-cost grid sensors enable electricity
providers to sense environmental events like trees
interfering with power lines. With this data, utility
crews can schedule foliage maintenance before an
accident occurs.
By monitoring voltage, for example, power providers can
determine whether a transformer is running too hot and
needs to be fixed or replaced. Or, they may have too
many users on a particular line and thus need to add
other elements to optimize the grid. Right now, power
providers don’t know exactly how the grid is performing
at any endpoint.
The advent of newer “as a service” network models,
under which companies pay only when they transmit
data, are breaking down certain industry barriers to
modernization. Because utilities need to go before public
utilities commissions to ask for a rate increase to pay for
new technology, they have been slow to move forward.
Instead, they tend to ride out existing investments,
depreciating them over 10 to 15 years.
By contrast, with “as a service” models, utilities don’t
have to swap out the entire meter population at once.
They can put in remote readers at say, difficult to reach
places and pay only for service to and from those
remotely located meters.
The water industry also needs to know about conditions
in the water grid. As is the case with power utilities,
manual meter reading is expensive. Water utilities are
realizing that wireless networks, with their extensive
coverage, reliability and security, offer a cost-effective
and efficient alternative.
Visibility into energy consumption and efficiency is also
gaining importance as states enact legislation requiring
monitoring. Nearly 50 states have efficiency requirements
specifically for state-owned or funded public buildings.
Additionally, legislation regarding energy efficiency in
all public buildings was enacted in 13 states in 2015.
IoT core networks coupled with new Cat 1 devices
enable water and other utilities to more easily and less
expensively monitor pipes and other hard-to-access
infrastructure. Prior to these advancements, utilities
have been essentially limited to using their own wireless
networks to monitor infrastructure. Unfortunately, private
networks are expensive to develop, operate and manage.
With an addressable market
of more than 300 million
electric, water and gas meters
in service in the US today,
the opportunity for intelligent
solutions and services in the
utilities market is massive.

Greater automation for consumers
Over the next 18 months, IoT adoption will grow
significantly, thanks largely to falling costs, the continuing
convergence of data and services and ever-increasing IoT
technology simplification—a factor of utmost importance
to consumers in particular. Homeowners can look forward
to a simplified user interface to address a range of
everyday issues, from controlling and monitoring home
security and environmental conditions to monitoring their
teenagers’ driving habits.
The cost efficiency, convenience, simplicity and security
of connecting things will drive wider societal changes.
The sharing economy will grow and flourish, expanding
to personal vehicles and household gear. Neighbors will
check online to see whose car might be available for use,
or borrow a chainsaw from the local home store and pay
only for the time they use the tool. Eventually, the ability
to track usage will create new service categories. Rates
for insurance and healthcare will be based on usage and
behavior, which can be tracked through IoT.
In three to five years’ time, consumers will experience a
much higher level of automation and efficiency in daily
life, thanks largely to the ability to customize “if-then”
scenarios via a streamlined IoT interface.
Overall, average consumers—and not just the gadget
geeks—will become increasingly willing to try new ideas
and services as ease of use and increased efficiencies
become apparent. As people begin to experience tangible
benefits, IoT adoption will expand quickly, just as cell
phone usage did.
IoT usage at home will be less fragmented as well.
Companies and services developing products and
services will collaborate, enabling users to engage
with a variety of IoT applications through a single
interface, likely voice, virtual reality and augmented reality,
which we see among the major points of interaction in
2016 and beyond.
More tools for developers
Developers can expect to see platforms host a growing
library of APIs. Deeper industry-specific expertise will
be available to apps they’re developing on IoT platforms,
which will continue to improve existing services such
as device management, integration, security, protocols
for data collection and data analytics. This will trigger
a proliferation of new IoT use cases as well as greater
integration across existing use cases. For example,
autonomous cars will interact with smart metering and
traffic and lighting systems.
Developers can also look to new edge-computing
capabilities in the network, which will become
increasingly important as more data from more
devices and apps floods the network. Edge-computing
capabilities will filter IoT data, sending only relevant bits
to central processing platforms for deeper analysis.

New opportunities for enterprise
The same factors driving change among consumers
will enable new efficiencies at the enterprise level. New
devices—think drones—will proliferate, creating an order
of magnitude increase in information—think aerial data,
which can be used across a broad array of new use
cases across multiple industries. Mining companies, for
example, might use aerial data collected by unmanned
drones to assess stockpiles or conduct volumetric
analyses of supplies stored in remote locations.
New environmental and safety regulations will expand
beyond nation-state borders as the economy becomes
ever more global, and sustainability issues like carbon
emissions and overall planetary health are tackled on
a global basis. IoT technologies will enable enterprises
to comply with new tracking and monitoring and data
reporting and analyses requirements.
New focus for policy makers
Regulators themselves will become more tech savvy as
the number of IoT and wearable products and services
increase. The head of the US Federal Trade Commission
predicted recently that 10 years from now, technologists
will need to comprise the bulk of the commission’s
staff, which is now comprised largely of lawyers and
economists. Further advances in consumer-facing
technology will demand that this knowledge gap be filled.
Greater potential for society
The sharing economy will grow and flourish, producing
the “Uberization” of a wide range of new services. Asset
tracking will steadily morph into asset sharing. Rates for
services such as insurance and healthcare will be based
on usage and behavior, which can be tracked through
the IoT.
The bottom line
Innovation, productivity and value will thrive as
private companies and the public sector both
come to the inevitable conclusion that IoT is
imperative to delivering the integrated, easy to use
and sustainable products and services demanded
by an increasingly mobile, tech-savvy 21st-
century society.
No single company or country can realize
the full promise of IoT on its own. We believe
collaboration, experimentation and openness will:
• Create cleaner cities
• Deliver better healthcare
• Make transportation systems safer
• Conserve water
• Boost productivity
• And make the digital world work better
for consumers and citizens.
