This question does not relate to the topic of the proposal.

The relationship of this question to the subject of IoT is merely coincidental. Discussing trends in venture capital would not be on topic for this site. – Robert Cartaino Jun 13 '16 at 17:47

There's no need for an "Intranet of Things" as IoT is not specific to "The Internet", but identifies a "Web" of interconnected things. – tbm0115 Aug 24 '16 at 15:38

Copyright infringement of what the data being collected by the devices? – Dom Jul 11 '16 at 1:33
Yes @dom that is exactly what I meant. I think it is is good question – Jeff Stein Jul 22 '16 at 20:31
That really doesn't make any sense. The data is realtime from whatever the sensors are so if that can be copyrighted there are much bigger issues... – Dom Jul 22 '16 at 20:37
