Open Source vs. Proprietary Firms on the IoT Battleground

(Before It's News)

Technology wars are predictable. Every new wave of gadgetry brings a fight over who will be the next king of the software hill. The next big battle is brewing over control of the Internet of Things marketplace. Consumers see only convenience and extensions to their always-on mobile devices. Product makers see a pathway to streaming data that can be monetized from buyers’ connections. Will history repeat itself, as open source begins to take on the current, yet unsustainable, walled-garden core of the IoT?
