Re: IoT segments
The foundation is there--no question. Their challenge is to sustain it because it requires a lot of education. It is a matter of crossing the 'Chasm" that is yet to be fully realized.

Re: IoT segments
mpouraryan, indeed. These are truly "revolutionary" times that require new solutions, new services, and new cultures to support it. We are truly changing and in the process of shaping the future.
Your points are excellent about the challenges to make the pieces all work and to ensure security as well. That's why I believe the platform architecture is a good design to build the back-end infrastructure and continue to develop the appropriate channels and applications. Clearly flexibility is key.
This is building the railroad tracks in front of the oncoming train!

Re: IoT segments
mpouraryan, your point about education is so true. We have to learn how to discover and learn again in order to gain the knowledge of the new environment. Then it is a matter of sharing that knowledge and changing the mindset and cultures of those who have not yet learned.

Very well said. What is extremely important at this time is, be extra cautious to make sure the foundation is foolproof as I don't see that there is any tolerence for things to go wrong at this crucial times.
Companies must ensure that a good model is in place with all key areas like Infrastructure, Security and ability to customize per cutomer's needs and priorities.

Re: IoT segments
"You look at network on demand, which is a virtualization capability, it's the fastest adopted service we have. We're up to 450 enterprise customers already deployed. We're moving very quickly and I think the customers are not at all hesitant."
Network on demand, in my opinion, has potential to be a real game-changer. The need for speed is real and they've made fairly good in-roads with some big companies. How it all plays out remains to be seen, but the fact that people are willing to pay for this as a premium service (when usually the trend is toward discounting) says a lot, I think.
Re: IoT segments
@DHagar, @mpouraryan:
So True. Education at this revolutionary times is a recurring need. Knowledge and experience sharing is equally critical. No matter how much education we get to, there could be so much more we tend to pick up from a shared experience from someone. That other perspective is always great to be aware of. Lastly mindset and culture - these are two critical challenges whenever we have to deal with something new or a revolutionary concept.

Re: IoT segments
ms.akkineni, well said. Definitely, or we will just end up with infrastructure that does not work or fit the current demands.
In addition, I believe it will require new designs, as opposed to plugging in our known solutions and trying to make those serve the new requirements.
That's why the Verizon platform looks to be a promising solution.

Re: IoT segments
vnewman, that level of performance will be highly competitive - I think you are right. Again, beyond the utility of IoT, the distinctive performance should make a real difference.

Re: IoT segments
ms.akkineni, well said. I think the culture change may be the biggest challenge for the future, but also the one that can truly open the doors to change.

Re: IoT segments
@Dhagar yes, changing a culture is a huge challenge. It's even harder than breaking a habit!
