Hello all!
I'm proud to write Inside IoT because IoT touches so many different industries, and when I started writing it eight months ago, I wondered how a single newsletter could capture it all. That's why, every day, I try my best to make Inside IoT as helpful as it can be. But it's hard to completely rely on a free model if you want to survive in media. That's why, to continue delivering you great content that keeps you up to date for your job (or passion!), we'll start charging $100 a year, which comes down to the price of a coffee every week.
While I will still continue to publish free content, there will be increasingly less free material available. For example, this week, free readers will only receive three newsletters, while paid subscribers will receive all five. At the same time, I'll be adding even MORE content for paid Inside Premium readers. For instance, I’m already working on an issue for Premium readers that will cover all the ways IoT is being used to control Coronavirus. This allows me to spend more time on in-depth coverage, and Premium readers will get it quickly. I will also continue to write up weekly and monthly roundups, timelines and thought-pieces exclusively for Premium readers. These weekly and monthly issues can help you keep up with what you really need to know in a field where it sometimes feels like there's a new gadget every day. Other perks:
-
IoT in the Bigger Picture: Premium readers can enjoy in-depth coverage on how IoT relates to current news and events around the globe.
-
Customized Content: Premium readers receive priority; they can ask for and receive more relevant news about specific topics they want to hear about in newsletters.
So if you're interested in subscribing and reading the first premium-only issue covering Coronavirus, click here to upgrade to premium!
As always, whether you're a free or paid subscriber, I'm grateful for your support. Thank you for being an Inside IoT reader!
Best,
Holly

3. The coronavirus continues to spread and it’s already affected the IoT industry by way of global supply chains — financial markets are down 10 percent and any tech company with factories in China is feeling the loss of production — but now many industry events are also being canceled. So far, the Google News Initiative Summit and Facebook’s F8 have been canceled, while Black Hat Asia 2020 has been postponed, due to the fear of attendees and exhibitors getting sick from large groups of travelers. Google, Facebook, and Microsoft have also implemented employee travel restrictions because of the virus. — ZDNET
Note: I’m working on a takeover issue on how IoT is being used to help contain the Coronavirus in various parts of the world, which will be available exclusively to Premium readers.
