Below are a few quotes and comments from today’s CES 2016 Internet of Things (IoT) discussion:
- Steve Brumer – 151 Advisors
- “Insanely bigger, wider and deeper than ever before”
- “Not a lot of people know how to make money in IoT”

- “Refused to go to external hotels for meetings. Focused on the exhibition center and the AT&T Developers Conference”
- “Uber was a fantastic way to get around Vegas”
- “AT&T has done an amazing job building smart city ecosystems and partnerships – similar to what carriers are doing in Asia
- Chris Hare, nTeTe Group
- “Vegas and CES can’t cope with anymore growth”
- “Woke up and realized I was at a car show”
- “27,000 versions of fit bits”
- “Lots of people throwing IoT products against the wall to see what will stick”
- “Industrial IoT appears to be leading the way in terms of viable business plans”
- “Spent very little time on the convention floor”
- “One SIM card and one carrier relationship are increasingly important for carriers and industrial IoT players”
- Sean Kinney, RCR Wireless News
- “Only 358 days until CES 2017 – mark your calendar”

- Other key themes include:
- Distributed IoT architectures and computing activity by chip companies like Intel and Mediatek will include security at the chip level
- IoT gateway product companies were touting security and encryption. Six months ago, security was behind the gateway; whereas, the trend today seems to be moving towards integrating the security into the gateway.
