Consortium Wants Standards For ‘Internet Of Things’

NY TIMES - Mar 27 - A consortium of industrial giants, including AT&T, Cisco, General Electric, IBM and Intel said that they would cooperate to create engineering standards to connect objects, sensors and large computing systems in some of the world’s largest industrial assets, like oil refineries, factories or harbors. The White House and other US governmental entities were also involved in the creation of the group, which is expected to enroll other large American and foreign businesses. The group is called the Industrial Internet Consortium, and hopes to establish common ways that machines share information and move data.
