Worldwide port congestion remains an issue and the IoT can address this issue by balancing port capacity with more consistent ship arrivals.<\/p>\n<p>Peter then discussed the large, important issues buried within the elegance and the tomfoolery. Who really owns the data created by IoT deployments? Where are the lines (if any) drawn concerning surveillance and that quaint word \u201cprivacy\u201d? What role will (and should) regulators play?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/iot-supply-chain-management.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/iot-supply-chain-management.png\" alt=\"iot-supply-chain-management\" width=\"640\" height=\"481\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17415\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thus, Peter examplified how great tools in inept hands can hurt the reputation of an entire class of technology. This is the case with some of these early IoT\/analytics efforts. Its particularly concerning to see government agencies being obsessed with spying on their own constituents, with so many corporations aping this activity.<\/p>\n<p>Regulatory answers to this problem are usually not the answer, as we end up with one set of government regulators trying to regulate another set of government regulators. EU law, something not mentioned in this presentation, is much stricter than the US law when it comes to privacy, often making it difficult for the US companies to do business in much of Europe. Yet European governments also like to \u201csurveil\u201d their people in the name of security and related issues. <\/p>\n<p>So, what can be done? How can software development communities and hardware developers throughout the world actively oppose the \u201cbad\u201d and especially the \u201cugly\u201d uses of the IoT and the technologies it encompasses, while encouraging the \u201cgood\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_reading\"><\/span>Related reading<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/iot-for-airlines-smart-baggage-tracking-with-rfid-tags-and-cloud-foundry\/\">IoT for Airlines: Smart Baggage Tracking with RFID Tags and Cloud Foundry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/cybersecurity-for-the-iot-and-ge-predix\/\">Cybersecurity for the IoT: Issues, Challenges, and Solutions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/a-predix-driven-smart-watering-system-aims-at-fighting-droughts\/\">SF State University Is Working on IoT-Driven Watering to Fight Droughts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/the-impact-of-iot-on-the-economy-and-business-models\/\">The Impact of IoT on the Economy and Business Models<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/bringing-healthcare-home-with-the-iot\/\">Bringing Healthcare Home with the IoT<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Want_details_Watch_the_slides\"><\/span>Want details?
