The source of the problem I see here is not the IoT. It is the missing regulation, that forces companies to develop open standards and enable the so inclined to hack themselves to find security wholes or what not. And most of all to make sure, that they can easily switch vendors, because all devices are able to talk to each other. If I today chose one vendor to make my heating at home smarter, I am stuck with this vendor, even if others provide better interfaces or tools in the future. This cripples user friendly innovation and what not. So, because governments do not (or do not want to) understand (be it on their own or because of lobbying), we as customers are facing a very grim looking IoT. At least, if I try to look into the future.
