STINGRAY PHONE TRACKER KNOCKS OUT CELL NETWORKS, FBI REVEALS
Until now, authorities have maintained that the StingRay doesn’t intercept 911 emergency calls
StingRay is capable of disrupting cellular service for every phone within a given vicinity, according to a new court document obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union. The disclosure, the first that could explain the secrecy around the controversial police surveillance technology, comes as privacy…

It monitors cell networks to figure out where it is and send notifications. Reminds me of Tile, slightly. $50 + $20 / year after year 1.
This model works in the current M2M world because value of each contract is so high and so is the cost of a technician to fix a WiFi connection issue compared to (say) $30 / month for cellular to a Coke machine.
But in the home, small / medium size business world, where WiFi is near ubiquitous and you can more or less service stuff yourself, paying monthly fees for tens of things is definitely out.
This business model [monthly fees for connectivity] won't work for the Internet of Things. Imagine having to pay a monthly connectivity fee for every light bulb in your house, along with your thermostat, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher and anything else you bought at Home Depot. Even if you bundled all of that connectivity into a lump sum, you'd still ask yourself if $20 to $30 a month for extra communications services to reduce your power would be worth it.
The infrastructures and batteries (both large and small) that allowed post-power tweeting are a tiny wonder. They're also a good lesson for the future of energy. One common criticism of technologies like wind and solar power is that they are irregular providers of electricity. This is a problem only because we've created a civilization of appliances, machines, and cultural practices that very much depend on a constant stream of power. It doesn't have to be this way. Anyone who uses a laptop or mobile phone is already used to the delicate dance of irregular electricity, sipping power when they can, running down the batteries when they can't. This is generally seen as an improvement over the alternative of always being plugged in. Our increasingly resilient cellular networks ,which put a buffer between themselves and an unreliable world, offer another glimpse of how that might work. Fuel delivery services like oil and gas, which rely on storage tanks—to say nothing of disused coal chutes and bricked-up fireplaces—remind us that irregular access to energy has been the norm for a long, long time.
Hurricane Sandy demonstrated how resilient the cellphone networks now are.

With New Standard, Wi-Fi Could Become As Widespread As Cellular
It will be interesting to see how an easy-access wifi network affect bandwidth management issues. It will certainly move some of the load off mobile operators.
In late 2010, Verizon rolled out its 4G LTE network, which offers data speeds 10 times as fast as 3G networks. But as mobile data traffic continues to grow—experts anticipate that it will increase 26-fold in the next three years—it’s unlikely that any network will be able to keep up. Fortunately, something else is set to happen over the next three years: Wi-Fi could become as ubiquitous and easy to access as cellular is now.
Wi-Fi is up to 15 times as fast as LTE, but at this point it’s an unrealistic substitute for cell service. Connecting is not a standard process. Users need to log into access points individually, enter passwords, and go through other credentialing rigmarole. And range is limited; once logged in, a user can’t wander more than a few hundred feet from an indoor router. But such limitations will soon be gone.
Later this year, the Wi-Fi Alliance, a consortium that oversees Wi-Fi certification and testing, will release the Wi-Fi Certified Passpoint standard to automate logins. Based on the IEEE 802.11u protocol, Passpoint will allow devices to identify preferred hotspots, connect to them, enter passwords, and authenticate security credentials—all automatically. Users may be able to add Passpoint access to their cellphone plans or sign up for standalone service through another provider, such as Boingo, a company that serves 400,000 hotspots at locations like malls and restaurants. When users with Passpoint walk into a coffee shop or arrive at an airport, their phones will automatically connect with the network.
nearly 3/4 of the world's population carries a mobile/wireless device. that's a crazy statistic.
