Some prominent use cases of IoT business models include remote software updates for smart appliances, security updates for apps, flexible software-based licensing options, subscriptions and pay-per-use, remote infrastructure monitoring, teleconsultation and epharmacy. The document also covers how communications SPs are utilizing the IoT's potential in line with the recent changes in telecom regulations in India to provide customers with top-notch network connectivity, data security, and storage options."India is still using the old telecom law, which needs to be changed with the adoption of newer and advanced technology in the communication technology space.
