FPF Comments on the NTIA’s Internet of Things Inquiry
Future of Privacy Forum filed comments with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in response to NTIA’s inquiry into the Internet of Things (IoT). NTIA asked policy experts and other stakeholders to identify key issues affecting deployment the IoT – a broad category of devices, appliances, and objects that can be connected via the Internet. The Internet of Things has been a focus of FPF’s work since our founding in 2008. FPF recognizes the enormous potential benefits to consumers and to society of the inter-connected applications offered through the Internet of Things.
FPF’s comments, “The Benefits, Challenges, and Potential Roles for the Government in Fostering the Advancement of the Internet of Things,” describe the privacy and security challenges presented by IoT technologies, as well as the enormous potential benefits to consumers and to society of the inter-connected applications offered through the Internet of Things.
