89: Sigfox: A Canary in the Coal Mine?

Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk #89 where we have a chat about all things IoT over a cup of coffee or two with some of the industry's leading business minds, thought leaders and technologists in a totally unscripted, organic format. Thanks for joining us. Sit back with a cup of Joe and enjoy the morning banter. 

This week, David, Rob, and Leonard debate if the Eagles were the greatest band of the 70s or Led Zeppelin. We also discuss the role of the military in originating transformative "metaverse" technologies, and we discuss the big event of last week, the bankruptcy of Sigfox. Is it an indicator of the lack of viability of current IoT assumptions and business models? Do we need to rethink the massive IoT?
