Enabling the Internet of Things for Australia Measure, Analyse, Connect, Act COMMUNICATIONS ALLIANCE LTD Enabling the Internet of Things for Australia Measure, Analyse, Connect, Act Written by Geof Heydon and Frank Zeichner October 2015 Communications Alliance Internet of Things Think Tank An Industry Report commissioned by the Communications Alliance Internet of Things Think Tank Executive Council First published: October 2015 The Communications Alliance Internet of Things Think Tank was formed in May 2015. The Think Tank’s vision is to be a leading ICT industry initiative under a broad industry framework shaping the regulatory framework to harness for Australian industry the opportunities generated by the internet of Things. The Think Tank aims to define the IoT eco-system, inform and enable Australian companies to exploit the business opportunities afforded by IoT technology and services.

At stake is the opportunity for Australia and Australian companies to be early beneficiaries of industry renaissance and the emergence of new business models through IoT and the opportunity for Australia to become a significant exporter of business solutions enabled by IoT – if the policy and regulation setting can be optimised early to support business-led innovation. The scale of IoT growth and the pervasiveness of its influence will mean that elements of our current telecommunications regulatory framework may be overwhelmed and/or might act as inhibitors to Australia’s ability to reap fully the benefits of the changing environment. It will be imperative to address regulatory (and other) inhibitors early and to simultaneously create an environment that allows enablers of IoT services to be brought to its full potential. Special Thanks Undertaking a study of a subject as broad as IoT with the IoT Think Tank remit was exciting and a little daunting. It could only be accomplished with the special help and advice from many sources. We would like to particularly thank: John Stanton and Christiane Gillespie-Jones, the IoT Think Tank Executive Council, our many interviewees and a few that went just a little further, including Mike Briers, Reg Coutts, Michael Cox, Warren Lemmens, Chris McLaren Helen Owens, Paul Paterson and Malcolm Shore.
