> "It is hard for hospitals to keep their ORs clean with small teams...". I do not believe this is a valid argument to protect small firms. I think your argument here undermines itself. I have not seen an operating room anywhere but a hospital, and hospitals are big. It couldn't really be said that hospitals represent a place with small teams or limited resources. Insurance money is involved, and if you are anywhere other than America, a great deal of government money as well. This is not the picture of a "small firm". Therefore I must conclude that you either didn't mean to put that hole in the argument, or that you did and that therefore you claim that "small firms" should not create IoT devices.
