Do Telco's needs to worry ?
Anybody can be an MVNO - Real kickstarter project:
“Spark Electron: Cellular dev kit with a simple data plan”
Taken from the project page:
“We’re becoming a carrier. We'll provide SIM cards
and manage the cellular connectivity completely via
your Spark account, giving you the power to control
your account with no contracts.
We’re working with Telefonica, one of the largest
telecommunications companies in the world, to support
our global mobile network for cellular-connected
hardware. Our network will provide coverage in more
than 100 countries through carriers like Telefonica,
AT&T, T-Mobile, O2, Movistar, Vivo, Telenor, Rogers,
and many more.”

Two Major Predictions:
1. Almost every aspect of our
business and our personal life
will use IoT.
2. The communication
infrastructure for the IoT
revolution will be virtualized and
based on the service provider’s
NFV cloud infrastructure.
