​11:00-12:15 - SESSION 4: INTERNET OF THINGS IN SMART CITIES

After more than a decade of debate, discussion and anticipation, the ’Internet of Things’ (IoT) may finally have arrived. According to the ITU Internet Report, 2005, IoT and our hyper-connected world encompasses a set of technological advances from different fields. Advances in these technologies, taken together, could help realize a miniaturized, automated Internet of connected devices communicating regularly and relatively effortlessly through real-time updates in a fully connected environment. 

This session is aimed to prepare decision makers, policy makers and regulators, industry leaders, and ICT stakeholders to cope with challenges and issues, while being ready to grasp opportunities brought by the new technologies.
