Gary Arlen in MultiChannel News reports that in all of the discussions about IoT, that the cable companies have been invisible and almost nothing has been said about their involvment. This is surprising considering all of the talk about Smart Homes, and Smart Cities, two places where cable companies already dominate. And in an era when more and more people are cutting the proverbial cable in favor of online streaming, the cable companies need something to replace that lost revenue. </td><td data-sheets-value="{"1":2,"2":"http://www.multichannel.com/blog/i-was-saying/iot-forecasts-proliferate-cable-invisible/407231"}" style="background-color: white; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; padding: 2px 3px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: bottom;"><a class="in-cell-link" href="http://www.multichannel.com/blog/i-was-saying/iot-forecasts-proliferate-cable-invisible/407231" target="_blank">http://www.multichannel.com/blog/i-was-saying/iot-forecasts-proliferate-cable-invisible/407231</a></td></tr>

The top five perceived benefits of IoT adoption include cost savings from operational efficiencies, better streams of data to improve decision-making, staff productivity gains, better visibility and monitoring of assets throughout the organization, and improved customer experiences.<br /><br />According to the research, the CIO, CTO, or other IT staff are leading the way for most IoT initiatives, though 46% of businesses reported the involvement of the CEO or president, and 31% reported the involvement of business unit leaders such as chief marketing officers (CMOs) or chief operating officers (COOs). However, there are still several risk factors giving organizations pause, according to the report. Factors most likely to inhibit adoption of IoT technologies are upfront cost, lack of skilled workers with the necessary expertise, and ongoing fees and maintenance costs.<br /><br />Rounding out the top five roadblocks were new cyber-security risks and interoperability with existing systems and devices.<br /><br />The research also revealed that 57% of companies believe their organization is well-equipped to manage the security component of IoT, which might be surprising considering how little is known about IoT security.</td><td data-sheets-value="{"1":2,"2":"http://www.informationweek.com/iot/iot-revolution-it-leading-the-charge/d/d-id/1326688"}" style="background-color: white; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; padding: 2px 3px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: bottom;"><a class="in-cell-link" href="http://www.informationweek.com/iot/iot-revolution-it-leading-the-charge/d/d-id/1326688" target="_blank">http://www.informationweek.com/iot/iot-revolution-it-leading-the-charge/d/d-id/1326688</a></td></tr>
