In the last month, more than 500 members have joined the International M2M Council, a recently-formed trade group for Internet of Things companies, said IMC in a Thursday news release (http://on.mktw.net/1eYm6Xp). Individuals from FedEx, Hyundai, Siemens Healthcare, Tata Group and the Defense Department are part of that recent group, IMC said. “There has been a leadership vacuum on a global level,” said IMC Executive Director Keith Kreisher. “Companies looking to deploy IoT business models are hungry for information -- how much will it cost and what are the risks?” IMC plans to also release a new “content library,” with case studies emphasizing the return on investment for deploying IoT technology, IMC said. AT&T and Iridium are among companies IMC has previously said have joined (CD Oct 16 p16).
