Nokia will launch a "borderless internet of things (IoT) network" next month, and is calling on the world's largest multinational corporations to collaborate or take it up as a white-label solution. The worldwide IoT network grid, or WING, aims to offer a seamless connection service by intelligently switching between cellular and non-cellular networks, and would bring together a federation of operators with Nokia having overall control. Critics argue WING will eat into the managed services model, which operators rely on for revenue.
