The report:
- provides a working definition of the IoT;
- defines the status quo and introduces the important issues for policy makers, including competitiveness, accountability, ethics and data protection;
- presents a gap analysis of the current EC legal frameworks in these areas; and
- makes policy recommendations including a ‘soft law’ approach, whereby the EC uses monitoring, innovation policy and industrial policy to foster future development of the IoT.
