The National Telecommunications and Information Administration has scheduled a Sept. 1 workshop on “ways to help foster the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT).”  NTIA said the workshop would build on comments it has received on the subject and “help to inform the Department’s forthcoming issue-spotting, agenda-setting green paper on IoT. The workshop will feature panel discussions on privacy, security and technology issues related to IoT, as well as a discussion on the potential government role and on whether there should be a national strategy related to IoT.”  The workshop is slated to run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Alexandria.  It will also be webcast.
