"number one biggest problem: standards"
Nope the number one biggest problem is lack of valid use cases for things not already connected to the internet.
The VP said it himself 170 million poles with sound and vibration sensors - yep I can imagine that what I can't imagine is what use they are going to be. The 17 million shipping containers I can't imagine because he can't even imagine what kind of sensor they should be fitted with never mind what use they would be.
Standards are driven by requirements and the 'internet of things' being 90% bullshit doesn't have the requirements and that's why standards are lacking.
