1/ . I attended another tmforum presentation today on their Digital Business Marketplace megacatalyst project. It's clear that some major players (BT, Intel, Telus, Accenture and many others) are slowly and steadily building out infrastructure for a 5G-enabled world ...

2/ . and #IOTA will be incorporated as a low-level protocol for computing at the edge. They refer to #IOTA as forming the Base Layer of Truth.

3/ . They describe 4 primary areas of development; Smart Energy, Smart Entertainment, Smart Manufacturing and Secure Supply Chain. #IOTA was a core protocol in three of the four focus areas.

4/ . You can view the slide deck here but see just how many times and in how many contexts #IOTA and the Tangle are mentioned explicitly and implicitly;

5/ . The full video presentation can be viewed here. Be sure to look for Sabri Goldberg's influences throughout the video. This is not just a passing mention of #IOTA but a total integration of the Tangle as the Integrity Layer across the board.

6/ . While R3 is also implemented in these projects, the two DLTs are working seamlessly together to create end-to-end business solutions worth billions of dollars and changing the way business assurance works.

7/ . Also listen for mentions of Zebra Savanna and Fujitsu Palm Secure - both of which have been referenced before in connection with IOTA.

I've never been more convinced that we're going to see the game change for #IOTA in the next 12 months.

8/ . In the early days of the Internet, the on-ramps were all controlled by the telcos and cable companies so they provided the essential underpinnings that made everything else possible. Without bandwidth Netflix, Youtube, Amazon, & the rest would not be viable business models.

9/ . Today, the next wave of onramps are being built out for 5G and Edge Devices. Want to know what the future holds? Look at the telcos. They're not screaming from the treetops about POCs; they're building the invisible mycorrhizal network that everything else will be built upon

10/ . ... and make no mistake, the protocol that will make it all happen is #IOTA.

25 cents? ...
Going,
going,
gone!
