ALONG WITH everything else going on, we may look back at 2020 as the year that companies finally hit upon a better business model for Internet of Things (IoT) networks. Established network companies such as the Things Network and Helium, and new players such as Amazon, have seemingly given up on the idea of making money from selling network connectivity. Instead, they're focused on getting the network out there for developers to use, assuming in the process that they'll benefit from the effort in the long run.
