越来越多的机器将通过物联网连到一起。在物联网中,电梯在出故障之前会自动报警,城市里的出租车可以更快地找到乘客。而网络设备制造商爱立信预计未来几年内能够卖出500亿台物联网设备。移动运营商们纷纷涌入了这个增长潜力巨大的市场,因为传统电话通信和数据传输业务的市场几近饱和,而且价格正在日益下降。 More and more machines will be connected via the Internet of Things. In the Internet of Things, elevators automatically alert you before they fail, and taxis in cities can find passengers faster. Ericsson, the networking equipment maker, is expected to sell 50 billion IoT devices in the next few years. Mobile operators are pouring into this huge potential growth market as the market for traditional telephony and data services is almost saturated and prices are declining.
