Re: Will This ThingSpace catch on?
@afwriter:
Really important piece of the puzzle - Consent and formal approvals / processes with local state and federal governments could be larger and complex than what we could anticipate. There has to be enough thought and time that needs to go in for that aspect.
This is exactly what is quoted by Pam (AT & T CIO for mobile and business solutions) when she was asked about the biggest surprise with the whole merger implementation.

@afwriter: Not to mention state and local governments -- especially if you want to make your devices "standard."

Well, at least you saved money on the cost of maintenance of railroad tracks you weren't using before the train came! ;)

Security
It's good that even with the new inovations of Verizon, that security is still an important aspect. Once again the Cloud is playing a big part in this carrier and security is obviously a big concern when dealing with the Cloud.
I think it's great that Verizon is trying out new things with IoT. I just hope hope hat the security measures still remain a top priority.

Good point @afwriter. The IoT component would have to be integral to design to really hit the mainstream market.

Re: Will This ThingSpace catch on?
For Verizon or anyone else to really catch on and grab a strong market hold they will not only have to offer back end support, but they will need to start working with contractors to get their IoT compatible devices built directly into buildings.
Re: Will This ThingSpace catch on?
Perhaps some other entity will clone the feature set of ThingSpace and make it network agnostic.... Then we'll be off to the races.
This is a sure possibility. After all that has been the latest trend. So we all must sit tight to hear/see a clone with some additional capabilities upcoming.

It would have been a bit more inspiring if VZ released a roadmap that included some kind of plan to support IoT outside of its own network. If ThingSpace has a long term vision, VZ needs to see that developers will start on VZ and there will be applications where VZ's network won't be the best choice -- but that supporting the platform on another network could still become a revenue stream down the line.
