Green Paper: Fostering the Advancement of the Internet of Things

The goal of this paper is to identify elements of an approach for the Department of Commerce to foster the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT).

The record of comments underlying this green paper, however, does set forth a series of issues that should be considered in any future discussions related to the possibility of a national IoT strategy. The publication of this green paper will be followed by a further Request for Comment that will solicit feedback on the findings of the paper and the proposed approach and next steps. This further consultation will inform the Department's approach and next steps as we work with interagency partners on the U.S. Government's approach to IoT.
