M2M makes sense. It&#x27;s great for devices that are not classically connected via the Internet to communicate with each other. It&#x27;s very helpful in the industrial and medical fields.<p>However, IoT devices should not be consumer-facing tech. IoT devices are on average far more expensive and have shoddy software&#x2F;firmware. Even when the software is fixed, IoT will remain a niche range of products until their quality surpasses that of the traditional version of the product. From a business perspective, anything IoT hardly makes sense as a standalone product.<p>M2M is a fantastic field. But IoT is not.
