Last night was my mashup event on Mashup TV, Pay TV, Over The Top (OTT) TV and DLNA - Where is the future for Multiscreen?  The speakers were Anthony Rose , Casey Harwood , David Cutts , David Mercer and Mark James  - moderated by Alan Patrick   - a write up from the event will be posted at the mashup blog One of the demo’s at the event was from Endurance Technology   and they showed what is possible with TV, interactions, pushing TV about the house and generally having some fun.  One aspect of their demo I found insightful….. Endurance were showcasing an example where someone watching a film and using an ipad to interact with the additional content and browse.  As adverts came on, they could have been determined from the analysis of the viewers “digital footprint” – check out my creepy post if you are worried about someone tracking/watching you, or by the traditional method of broadcast ads based on content and time of...

Internet of Things (IoT) is the combining of the physical and virtual worlds to drive improvements and benefits.  It is time to focus on why IoT is emerging (again). IoT is, in its simplistic form, tiny sensors that are being embedded into physical things which are connected (wireless or wired) to create benefit from process change or data analysis.  Underlying the IoT are technologies such as NFC, sensors, and smartphones.  IoT focuses on either services that collect data and analyse the data and the output is information or services that collect data but also close the loop and affect the physical world. So what has changed since the ITU report on IoT in 2005 and why has it become trendy again? The emergence of new research, Smart Grids, cost advantage, data analysis, device proliferation and the fact that yesterdays science fantasy is now possible, make IoT hot.   The best or worst example of the IoT benefit is the colloquial Internet fridge that monit...
