With the costs of sensors declining, the 4G LTE broadband bandwidth increasing (with Google Fiber providing 1Gigabit broadband to the home in test cities), cloud computing going mainstream, mobile cloud becoming mainstream, the advent of big data analytics and machine learning algorithms into various sectors of society, the stage is getting set for the Internet of Things to take shape.
