Commission publishes
preliminary report on consumer Internet of Things
The European Commission has issued
interim findings in its sector inquiry into the Internet of Things (IoT).
The study raises concerns
about the relationship between voice assistants as the link between smart devices
and intermediaries and a lack of interoperability in the sector.
Unsurprisingly, the study
reveals concerns about large amounts of data being consolidated in in the hands
of a few vertically-integrated companies; namely Google, Amazon and Apple.
The Commission is consulting
on its preliminary findings until 1 September 2021. It plans to publish its final conclusions in
the first half of 2022.
The results will inform the
Commission’s regulatory and competition law enforcement strategy and they could
frame the design of the controversial Digital Markets Act.
