growth expected to occur in the domain of IoT, and how the smart objects may become major drivers of IPv6 in 3GPP networks. The 3GPP standards and networks need updates to be able to handle the billions of new UEs connecting networks, and the mobile handsets will in some cases need updates to be able to provide Internet connectivity to smart objects and also to be able to consume services provided by the smart objects. Some UEs will also become, more or less fixed, gateways for smart objects that are using low-power radios for Internet access. We also saw that the standardization in relation to IoT, M2M, and MTC is very active and likely to continue evolving the domain and producing standards that also influence 3GPP access. The IoT has a big promise for new business, and the authors are anxious to see how the field develops and what the future in this regard will bring. References 1. 3GPP.
