Internet of Things

Mehr zum Buch

The Internet of Things is an emerging global Internet-based information architecture that facilitates the exchange of goods and services. As the technology develops, establishing a legal framework is essential for its effective implementation. A self-regulatory approach may be preferable, allowing rulemakers to draw on existing Internet governance experiences. Initially, businesses will primarily operate within the Internet of Things, while civil society is expected to engage with it later, particularly in areas like healthcare. The Internet of Things will impact various sectors, necessitating regulations that ensure both security and user privacy. Additionally, potential legal barriers hindering its operation must be addressed. Despite challenges, the Internet of Things promises positive outcomes, including integrating developing countries into global trade, enhancing civil society's access to information, combating product counterfeiting, addressing environmental issues, improving health conditions, securing food supply, and monitoring labor standards compliance.
