The reaction has been very positiveInternet of Things Fans Form ‘AllSeen’ Alliance• How are things going to find each other once they are all connected? A lot of

companies are discussing such questions these days, with some of them banding together in an effort ...

For Qualcomm, a 'gift' to the Internet of things• … opening up AllJoyn to the community at large will spawn a booming

industry of companies that will both contribute to its code and use it to develop products for the "Internet of things"

The Internet of things is coming on faster than ever, thanks to a new, huge alliance• The AllSeen Alliance, as it’s called, will take on the monumental, innovation-accelerating

task of creating and maintaining unified standards for device-to-device communication.

Plan Emerges to Make Internet-Enabled Devices Play Nicely• Before you know it, you may be able to connect your “smart” coffeemaker to

your “smart” toaster to ensure a properly timed java and bagel.
