How is identification structured, who assigns ID, who is accountable, what are the decentralised architecture, socio economic implications such as access and exclusion? Under naming and addressing, what defining set of principles and regulation underlie the governance of IoT? Should private companies continue to take the lead in the day-to-day management of the operation of the internet? With the recent discussions on naming and addressing schemes what is the difference in the East and West in terms of enthusiasm into going into these new ontologies? With the ‘right to the silence of the chips’ at what level do we de-activate personal information? Are there different levels of privacy for different identities / contexts? With the fight for control of the value between application/content layers and operators, what is the best option for the future?
