Having first hand experience with the VA I can't say I'm surprised, but really it doesn't matter that it's the VA, because I think most companies doing iot things already are likely going to face failure on their project as well. In this case I'm mostly thinking about the horrible security environment of the iot ecosystem, especially cellularly connected ones. "VA officials worried that the department’s $543 million contract with Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Services to implement a real-time locating system, or RTLS, was careening off the rails" Wow. Let me guess, good ol boy contract kick-back where the good ol boy can't deliver as promised. It's a classic American tale. Great thing the government bid system is blindingly fair and egalitarian. Yup, that's it I bet. "VA officials have said work here stalled about 18 months ago due to contract issues"
