Financial Times
Summary:  Paul Taylor covers the nearing convergence of the virtual and physical worlds through the big IoT players such as GE, Cisco and Xively by LogMeIn.

He warns that the infrastructure needed to turn these ideas into reality will  be “complex and requires significant, specialised [sic] expertise above and beyond  devices and applications, and beyond the skills and resources of most  businesses”.

Companies such as GE and Xively plan to provide cloud-based services that  will allow businesses to openly collaborate and create products that others can  share to hopefully overcome some of these difficulties.

“Like Cosm before it, Xively will offer a way for disparate devices to connect with each other, though now with commercial terms of service for commercial users and freely available services for projects in development. ”
