Former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler suggested that the IoT could face obstacles if net neutrality rules are rolled back, or if network operators can use consumer’ data. “If networks aren’t open then those who own the networks will control what happens on them, including IoT,” he said in an interview with FierceWireless. “If the information going over the network isn’t private, then networks will be able to purloin the data of someone else for their own purposes, thus diminishing the value of that data to its creator.”
