#WhyCorporationsDoNotInnovate
1) Customers ask for it?
2) Return on investment?
3) Who else launched it?
Business Case & RFP for Facebook, Amazon, Whatsapp,...?
BUSINESS CASE + RFP = NO INNOVATION!
3 simple questions to get corporate budget!

#WhyTelcosDoNotInnovate
1) Telcos know what customers want
2) Telcos know how to create it
3) Telcos deliver very slow
Examples of Me-Too-Telco-Copies:hosted email, portals, social networks, app stores, cloud infrastructure, etc.
So why would IoT be different?
3 major mistakes!

Any Telecom Software
Deployed
Integrated
Scaled-Out
In Minutes
On Any Cloud/Server
@mectors
#LimeSDR - Cheap SDR
LTE Small CellsLoRaWANZigbee & ZWaveWiFi & BLE
Open Source, App-Enabled & Crowd-Funded
Future Apps:
Any Protocols
#TopTelecomProblemsSolved1. Generate billions of new revenues? Apps Stores Everywhere2. Reduce costs by a factor of 10? Open Source App-Enabled Hardware3. Substantial over the top revenue? Apps on DSLAMs, Base Stations4. Eliminate churn? App personalisation = Lock-in5. Deploy, integrate, scale-out telco solutions in minutes? #JujuCharms

Innovators find it easier todisrupt telcos than to collaborate.
Unless you change this,your IoT revenues will never materialize...
