The Center for Data Innovation has filed comments with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (NTIA’s) request for comments on its green paper titled “Fostering the Advancement of the Internet of Things.” In its green paper, NTIA correctly identified many of the ways in which the federal government should support the private sector to accelerate the development and deployment of the Internet of Things. NTIA should develop a national strategy for the Internet of Things to coordinate these efforts throughout the federal government and maximize their effectiveness.
