Re: AT&T has GE and FirstNet for smart cities
@mhhf1ve A similar issue arises now as the Supereme Court refused to review the proposed electronic logging devices (ELD) mandate . see http://www.supplychain247.com/article/appeal_on_elds_will_not_be_reviewed_by_us_supreme_court?ajs_uid=0795D5330267I3U
Commercial truck drivers are restricted to a limited number of working and driving hours under current regulations. The FMCSA's mandate requires that truck drivers use ELDs to track their driving and non-driving activities even though such devices can only track movement and location of a vehicle.
OOIDA contends that requiring electronic monitoring devices on commercial vehicles does not advance safety since they are no more reliable than paper logbooks for recording compliance with hours-of-service regulations.
In its petition to the Supreme Court, OOIDA asked the court to determine whether the ELD rule violated the Fourth Amendment by failing to establish a regulatory structure at the state and federal levels that serves as a substitute for a warrant.

AT&T Scores Smart City Deals With GE, FirstNet
With this partnership of AT&T and GE and FirstNet, anything is possible. The sky is the limit. It starts out with good intentions, such as lighting for cities and surveillance to keep citizens safe, but it can degrade into Big Brother Is Watching your every move, like in George Orwell's 1984.

Re: Smart cities need to be fair cities as well..
@mhhf1ve, I fully agree. Working with some Smart Cities and very familiar with the FirstNet capabilities, if there is not a clear design, strategy, and governance, it can derail and become a problem at any time. It is particularly critical to maintain the Trust Level when dealing with the public and have comprehensive design and data governance structure that preserves that trust.

Re: AT&T Scores Smart City Deals With GE, FirstNet
@srufolo1, you are right - these are all the right partnerships to put together a complete platform and design and deliver new solutions. When you offer citizens new capabilities and services that better serve their interest you will have a good market.
I think AT&T is truly a strong leader in building these partnerships and the AT&T/FirstNet looks like a winner!

Re: Is there an AppStore for Smartcities?
Perhaps a better question is who we would want to be in charge of it. Unfortunately, the idea of municipal government running things makes me cringe a little.

I think what makes AT&T so exceptional is that they don't just follow the trends, but create them. They seem to be the driver of mobile technology in the U.S. right now.

Re: AT&T Scores Smart City Deals With GE, FirstNet
I was reading recently about the competition in "worlds" at amusement parks like Disney has. The advent of smart technology could really help improve amusement park experiences.
I'm sure there's a lot of behind the scenes work going on to make this a reality.

Re: AT&T Scores Smart City Deals With GE, FirstNet
@afwriter. I agree. AT&T is a leader in the technology industry. I would like to see other companies take the position as leader to provide some competition to AT&T. Creating trends is how a company sets itself apart from its competitors.
