I think it's premature to discuss shortfalls when the technology and implementation is still at the "scenario" level of development. It's like that whole bullshit "internet of things" monicker, which GE just calls "telemetry." "Internet of things?" Ooh! Aaah! Fancy! Unknown! Mystical! Subject to change without notice! Telemetry? A hundred years old and not something you can sell to Wall Street.
