The reaction has been very positive 8 Internet of Things Fans Form ‘AllSeen’ Alliance How are things going to find each other once they are all connected? A lot of companies are discussing such questions these days, with some of them banding together in an effort... For Qualcomm, a 'gift' to the Internet of things … opening up AllJoyn to the community at large will spawn a booming industry of companies that will both contribute to its code and use it to develop products for the "Internet of things" The Internet of things is coming on faster than ever, thanks to a new, huge alliance The AllSeen Alliance, as it’s called, will take on the monumental, innovation-accelerating task of creating and maintaining unified standards for device-to-device communication.
