The Department of Commerce appointed 16 experts for an advisory board to counsel the new Internet of Things Federal Working Group. The new advisory board includes a range of stakeholders outside of the federal government with expertise relating to the IoT.
The board will advise the federal working group on the identification of any federal regulations, programs or policies that may inhibit or promote the development of IoT and situations in which IoT could deliver significant and scalable economic and societal benefits to the United States. That could include smart traffic and transit technologies, augmented logistics and supply chains, environmental monitoring, and health care; IoT opportunities and challenges for small businesses. The group will also provide advice on any IoT-related international opportunities for the U.S.
